The New York Times best-selling author of The Quiet Boy returns with a speculative, corporate espionage thriller that takes the adage "Time is money," and makes it literally, frighteningly so.

To save her struggling family, Luna enters a competition offering reward money to anyone who can successfully live without modern technology for a year, but when this social experiment turns sinister and her classmates start disappearing, her family's livelihood might not be the only thing she is in danger of losing.
