What you think is what they hear...so you must trod carefully
***
Imagine a world where nobody can speak, in the normal sense of the word. Special microphones are hooked up to read signals from your brain, translating your thoughts into sound, meaning one must be careful what they think.
When Megis' friend Jose gets whisked away by the police to become mute after standing up for his rights, Megis finds herself joining the H.U.S.H. Committee, and embarks on a journey to not only bring back Jose's ability to speak, but others as well who wish to have a voice.
A mission filled with lies and treachery, where every step brings her closer to danger, but also the truth, will Megis have the courage to succeed?
