Reality Screens are all the rage in America's future, just a few years after the climax of World War III. They were invented for sport, convenience, and -- most importantly -- surveillance. Enna Price, an 18-year-old graduate from the Academy of Global Doctrines, learns the true scope of her society's evil upon deciding whether or not to accept its controlling technology. The life-altering choices that she makes will forever follow her wherever she goes, for better or for worse. Unplugged: The New World is the first installment in the Unplugged Trilogy, and is an emotional journey packed with spine-tingling conspiracy, jaw-dropping betrayal, and heart-stopping romance.

Veronica had seen countless victims; men, women, children. Some of them had been found in the most horrific states imaginable; some of them still haunted her dreams. But they were strangers, people she had never known - or in this case hated. But no one deserved to suffer like this. Not even Shelly Pomroy. Eight women have been raped and strangled, their bodies dumped on beaches along the California coast. Veronica is sent back to her home town of Neptune to find the person responsible. It has been nine years since she left Neptune, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake. With her return, Veronica has every intention of avoiding anyone that is connected to her old life - even her own father. But when her investigation leads her straight back to Logan Echolls she knows it won't be as easy as pretending they don't exist. ---------- As the summary states, my story follows Veronica as an agent in the FBI. Now I know there is a lot of argument about Veronica's character and how she would never really work at the FBI because she doesn't follow the rules, but in my mind, a lot can happen in nine years and for my story, she has learned some hard lessons. This is a 'LoVe' story because there is no other option for these two but each other. I will put a warning here that this story will contain graphic depictions of rape. I will leave a note at the top of chapters that contain those parts so that you do have a warning, but this is just an overall warning in case you are uncomfortable with that. But enough about that, enjoy the ride.
