Radleys parents had warned her that all hell would break loose if the American Peoples Party took power. And now, with the president assassinated and the government cracking down on citizens, the news is filled with images of vigilante groups, frenzied looting, and police raids. It seems as if all hell has broken loose. Coming back from volunteering abroad, Radley just wants to get home to Vermont, and the comfort and safety of her parents. Travel restrictions and delays are worse than ever, and by the time Radleys plane lands in New Hampshire, shes been traveling for over twenty-four hours. Exhausted, she heads outside to find her parentswho always come, day or night, no matter when or where she landsarent there. Her cell phone is dead, her credit cards are worthless, and she doesnt have the proper travel papers to cross state lines.
