A tale of two boys (yes, BOYS) that desperately try getting away from their past. Dolton Derwilliger escapes his town to shake off the authorities after he murders a man called Dan Mead, and adopts a new identity as a female named 'Dolly', via the name his school bullies called him (it's quite ironic once you read the story) Michael Walter comes from the same school as Dolton, even though they had never conversed much. A while after Dolton's disappearance, he loses his passion for life and begins drinking and moping around. Roughly a whole year later, when Dolton pops in for a quick visit home, he runs into Michael, and asks him to run away with him.

In a world full of murder and destruction Megan Hunter is stuck in a society where the adults enforce tests upon the 'students' to develop a better way of living. She can't do anything wrong. If she does, bang. She is dead. Then one day a few weeks later Megan decides to fight back. She does whatever it takes to escape this cruel world and bring the system down. It's now only a matter of life and death.
