Summary
City life in Metro Centrix is relentless — a place where alarm clocks scream before sunrise, commutes stretch endlessly, and no one so much as blinks at the constant churn of poverty, crime, and disappearances. In a world that runs on indifference, people have learned to look away — especially when loud voices start to vanish without explanation.
Emma has learned to keep her head down, her steps brisk, and her time in the city minimal. The only problem was her boyfriend, Aiden — charismatic, city-loving, and utterly blind to how much Metro Centrix drains her but she doesn’t complain much. Trapped between a crumbling school life at Lone Oak Academy and a relationship that’s starting to feel more like a leash, Emma’s senior year begins with one quiet, desperate wish: escape.
Then she meets her — the new girl. Bright-eyed, fearless, and bizarrely welcoming in a world that’s anything but. She’s everything Emma isn’t… and everything she didn’t know she needed. With each passing day, the stranger pulls her deeper into something thrilling, freeing — maybe even dangerous. Because behind that infectious smile lies something Emma can’t quite place.
And in Metro Centrix… the ones who care too much tend to disappear.
