It is a wet, dreary day when Rix Tane boards the train for Camp White. But his life is about to change forever - or maybe even end - when he meets a blind boy. Unfit for military training or even factory work, the boy will be executed within a matter of days. Escape seems to be the only solution. But with guards and teachers continually searching for rule breakers at Camp White, such a plan can hardly succeed. Will Rix turn away, trying to forget the blind boy, or will he fight for freedom even if it costs him his life?
