Nobody ever understood why that one area of dystopian North America was never touched. It seemed like there was an invisible force field blocking the Raptors from nuking the place and replacing it with their model citizens, identical townhouses, and government-issued buildings required in every town.
Sixteen-year-old Cayden Marx is fortunate enough to be one of the people living in Rocks County, although he doesn't see it as a good thing. He longs to get out and explore the country he's barely got a glimpse at besides for his little town, yet the imaginary "force field" that is preventing the Raptors from getting in also stops him from getting out.
Just when things couldn't get any worse for Cayden, everyone except for him and 6 other kids in his grade go missing. Seemingly vanish, leaving no trace of their existence besides belongings behind. The newly orphaned teens must work hard to figure out the story behind the mass disappearance before the secrets end up killing them, possibly from the inside.
