Summary
Yubin Lee is a mechanic and quasi-legal street racer. Yoohyeon Kim is a laundress and illegal book trafficker. They are best friends, and they live in the only place left in the world, probably.
Yubin doesn't care about that -- she only cares about one thing, and that's her lifelong dream of becoming a famous skimmer driver like she's watched on TV. But she's from D5, and it'll take a lot of hard work, luck, and money to even get chance. That won't stop her, though. Nothing could.
Yoohyeon, on the other hand, dreams of what might lay beyond the sands surrounding them, if anything at all. She's memorized every book she's been able to get her hands on, and she's certain there's more, but she has no idea where to start looking. One day, she'll figure it out; until then, she'll read her favorites to Yubin, even if she isn't really listening.
Everything changes when she gets arrested for a crime punishable only by death, and Yubin is forced to hide with the leader of the Black Cats to save herself from the same fate. Except Yoohyeon isn't killed; she's spared by the secretary of domestic affairs, in exchange for abandoning her old life entirely.
If only it could stay that simple.
