Projects. That was all they ever were to them, all they ever would be. Perhaps even numbers as well... that is what it felt like to Skye, or as they called her, X - 160. She had waken up there, with no memories, no explanation of her past. However, when she is left alone in her room, she soon discovers she has the choice to live a normal life if she kills everyone else, the other projects, or stay here for the rest of her life, for who knows how long... but is that really the best choice? Should she really do their bidding, be the good little experiment she was meant to be?
Skye Jones knew the world had been screwed to hell years ago. What she didn't realise is that she would be expected to save it.
After five years in an isolated facility run by the American government with other kids like her, Skye is released into the nightmare beyond the barbed wire walls to trial a safe route to Washington DC.
It's the first breath of fresh, unfamiliar air which she wouldn't get beaten for, but that doesn't take away the danger. She's unprotected and isolated because of who she is, but she's one of the most dangerous things out there.
With death waiting around the corner at every turn, Skye's group focuses on their main goal: the capital. Yet, this isn't as straightforward as they thought, and they begin wonder if they'll live to make it out the other end.
