Wren Iver is a young girl who is living life one day at a time just trying to survive behind the walls of Sunshine Heights and has never been on the other side where all the rich people live. Like everyone else in Sunshine Heights Wren dreams of being able to walk outside the gates and breathing the clean air and drinking the clean water on the other side. But she knows that this will never happen. But a girl can dream, right? Wren also dreams of being able to afford a new pill that would cure her cancer when it is released in the United States.

One day when Wren and her friend Mak is on their way to work they are stopped by this guy who just happens to work for VidaCorp a big pharmaceutical company who promises her a cure for her cancer if she will pretend to be a big Hollywood star Sloan Lux.

With Sloan being the star of the show and her being dead and if everyone finds out it would be canceled which is something they don’t want to happen; it could cost them so much more than money.

Wren agrees to be Sloan but when she arrives she soon learns about this group of people the Whitebirds are trying to overthrow the government and has infiltrated the tv show. Wren is asked to help find out who the culprit is. Wren has lot more on her plate than she could ever have imagined. She doesn’t know who to trust when the truth starts to come out.

Who is right VidaCorp or the Whitebirds? Is Wren playing on the right side? What it the right side? When the truth is out whose side will Wren choose? Will it cost her more than her life? What is a girl to do? What would you do to save your life?

In the beginning Wren is a shy, timid kind of person but by the end of the book when she started to figure things out some what she started toughing up a little bit. I can’t wait to read more of Wren’s story as well as Sloan’s and Mak’s and Roman’s. Oh and what about Bode and Hazen?
