Jamie Parker is a 14-year-old girl living during a time in the future christened "the Greater Depression". The excessive consumption and privatization of natural resources has caused an imbalance in the distributions of them, with the people who have money getting more and the people who have less money getting next to nothing. When Jamie is given the opportunity to go on a secret mission to assassinate the President of Russia, she jumps to the chance. But little does she know that the choices she will make will ultimately change her life, forever.
