eleutheromania
(n.) an intense and irresistible desire for freedom.

Coda's whole life has been normal - well, as normal as it gets. Normal family, normal friends, normal school - and he's happy to keep it all that way. He has never been one for adventures in the first place, and would much rather curl up with a good book or go swimming in a nice, safe pool than do anything dangerous or risky. 

However, something odd seems to be plaguing him after the day he turns sixteen - the day the infamous assassin 'Leader' was caught and killed only the year before, too. Suddenly, his peaceful family is controlling, and his parents not who they seem to be at all. 

When pushing for the truth lands him in a mental hospital, Coda is sure his life is at rock bottom. Nevertheless, his new roommate Kai and the rest of the patients at Atticus' Home for the Mentally Ill seem to be trying to prove otherwise - once at rock bottom, all you need is a shovel to get you further than you ever anticipated. Just who exactly is he? And how is he related to the assassin on the news?

With murder, mystery and insanity biting at his heels, Coda's life before has never looked more tempting. Can he get back to that? Or will the strange going-ons at Atticus Home hold him hostage until the end of time?
