Fifteen-year-old Day is on the run, after a soldier is said to be killed by him. Fifteen-year-old June is the soldier/detective assigned to find and capture Day. In their future, the United States has been divided into two countries: The Republic, where Day and June live, and The Colonies, which are in conflict with The Republic.
