How will a fire affect the lives of five clinically diagnosed youths with mental disorders? Would it lead to tangible changes in themselves, or would it stir the undisturbed madness tucked well within their minds.

* * * *

St. Teresa's All-Girl Catholic School is the foundation of the thriving town of Forstpine. So when a fire broke out and burned the school to the ground, the city fell into chaos. It ignited an outrage, which mobilized authorities to haunt down the unnamed arsonist. 

Meanwhile, along with their friends, two girls try to escape the consequences of what they've done. But the obstacles they have to face will be impossible to overcome as secrecy, lies, and unshakable ties hold them back. But to make their troubles worse, their therapist is suspicious of their newly formed bond and is scrutinizing their every move.

Dazed, afraid, and confused, they will face the fires that are in pursuit of their lives to escape the troubles they will confront and, mostly, cause. This is the spectacle of six troubled teens in one waiting room-where there's bound to be a bit of blood, a lot of tears, and plenty of smoke and cigarette burns. But for teens who have had nothing all their lives, it's everything.

The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.
