Living on the run is not easy. Dandra learns quickly that being independent in this dazzling, clean country proves difficult as a fugitive refugee. Knowing who to trust, how to blend in, and how to put food on the table, all while hiding from the law is difficult but becomes more complex as tensions heat up among friends. How can she take advantage of the wonderful opportunities of this new country, like a quality education, with no money and while trying to lay low?

Furious that her best friend has been betrayed and taken back to the Complex of Undesirables, Elira focuses her rage on taking down everything and everyone connected with the Complex.

Even though she has escaped the complex, the Complex Law still threatens her life and safety.
