of dangerous contraband-- printed books from before the Seclusion. These
texts spark an unquenchable thirst for the truth that leads to the
arrest of Patch's father by the totalitarian Board, which runs the

United States. Along the way they learn how their country came to be
this way, but their newfound knowledge may lead to their own demise.
