A nation is failing its young. Teenagers falling through the cracks. Minnie's foster carer is more interested in the pay cheque than safeguarding those in her care. Jake is desperate to escape his violent stepfather and save enough money to get his mother and young sister to leave with him. Under a radical new care scheme, the government implants a chip in the brains of vulnerable youths, claiming it will give them a fresh start. The chips turns thought patterns into words, supposedly to help them recover from trauma. But is the truth best kept hidden? And at what cost is it extracted? The revolutionary technology of the Spectrotext vibrates against a life of nightclubs, drugs, abuse, and authorities. When a friend dies in mysterious circumstances, Minnie and Jake race to search deeper for the truth, before their lives spin out of control.
