In a world where unwinding unwanted teens is not only accepted but thriving business, the line between life and death blurs into a moral gray area. Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa's high-profile revolt, society can no longer ignore the dark underbelly of this practice. But as powerful political and corporate forces push to expand unwinding to prisoners and the impoverished, the stakes have never been higher.

Enter Cam—a boy who shouldn't exist. Pieced together entirely from the parts of other unwinds, he's a living, breathing experiment grappling with his own identity. Does a rewound being possess a soul, or is he merely the sum of his parts?

When a sadistic bounty hunter's actions entwine Cam's fate with those of Connor, Risa, and Lev, they're all thrust into a perilous journey that will challenge everything they know about humanity, purpose, and what it truly means to live. As they navigate a world intent on tearing them apart, one question remains: Will they find a way to change their destinies before it's too late?
