Living with his mother and stepfather in a divided city, Joshua is a troubled boy surrounded by a wall, soldiers, and the rubble of a broken world that hints at the life that existed before the wall went up. When he discovers a manhole leading to a tunnel, and the tunnel leads through pitch darkness under the wall to the other side, he finds himself somewhere forbidden, dangerous and violent – territory a visibly different boy like him has no business entering. An act of kindness from a girl saves his life, but it also sets off a brutal act of cruelty and leaves him with a terrible debt he’s determined to repay. And no one – absolutely no one – can ever find out he was there, or the consequences will be unbearable.
