When a virus causing horrible mutations began quickly spreading on the East Coast, the government contracted with Titan Corporation to build a gigantic wall on the western side of the Mississippi, cutting the country in half. Delaney, who calls herself Lane, has grown up on the right side of the wall, where every measure is taken to prevent the virus’ spread that plagues the Feral Zone

When she is arrested for a violation of the contagion law, she’s not sure what to think. Quickly, the director of security makes it clear that they are after her father. Unbeknownst to Lane, her father is a fetch, someone who will infiltrate the Feral Zone and retrieve items for wealthy people. The director knows this, and wants him to retrieve something for her otherwise he will be punished by death. Unfortunately for Lane, however, her father left a week ago for the other side.


Now Lane finds herself on the other side of the wall too, looking for her father. Can she locate him in time to spare his life, or will she succumb to the virus and become one of the mutated monsters who dwell there? It’s a thrill ride with a love triangle and action that will take Lane from Davenport to Chicago in search of her father.
