When
his family goes over their debt limit, Matt is sent to live at a government
workhouse to pay off the debt. When he gets there, however, he discovers that
everyone is getting sick and disappearing. As he dives in to the inner workings
of the government and their debt rehabilitation facilities (workhouses), he
discovers some dangerous secrets that could cause his death. Only problem is,
he can’t reach the outside world. To make matters worse, his kid sister has
been sucked into it as well and is sick. Will he find a way to expose the workhouses
for what they are? Will he ever escape? Will he save his sister?
The characters are
likable and entertaining. The plot
is suspenseful, fast-paced, and unique. If you like science
fiction, mystery, and dystopian-type fiction you'll enjoy reading this book.
