Cary lives in Concord, a town that shouldn’t exist, built to house evacuees from Corstorphine after the meltdown of a nuclear reactor when she was a little girl. She can’t remember anything about the meltdown or her life in Corstorphine. No one talks about it, including her parents. Up until now Cary only cared about two things, finding out the truth about her past and getting out of Concord. This year things are different. For the first time in her life, Cary has more than one friend. She’s even falling for someone. Will her obsession with the past derail everything? When videos taken behind the cordon surface on social media, they trigger memories from Cary’s past and she is compelled to break into The Zone in the search for answers. The secrets she uncovers are not confined to the past, or the boundaries of The Zone. Can Cary separate the truth from the lies, including the ones told to her by her own family? Torn between love and exposing The Zone’s secrets, Cary must pick a side.
