In 2035, the gap between economic classes has grown (more than it has in recent decades). The children/teenagers of the wealthy have become a commodity, kidnapping a regular industry. Charity Meyers wakes in a guarded ambulance. She tries to remember events leading to her predicament, and tries to forget, because it is the best way to survive the ordeal. She concentrates mostly on past events in order to retain her sanity. When jarred into the present, she wonders if she should go along with the kidnappers’ wishes or if she should be looking for an opportunity for escape.
