Lyla’s gated community seems like the perfect place to be when the world ends, but is it?  Pioneer, the community’s leader, has accounted for every detail needed to ensure the safety of the community members. What if he’s lying? What if the world isn’t nearing its end and the outsiders have no plans to hurt them? What if Pioneer is manipulating the community members?  When Lyla meets Cody, an outsider, she begins to question all that she knows to be true. In this fast-paced thriller, Lyla must decide to follow what she has always known or to trust the stranger that has made her second guess her entire life.
