Valentina, the President's daughter, leads a privileged life in the Citadel. At the age of 14, she has never been outside of the green zone and knows little of the Badlands or the world beyond. Refugees from all over the world have fled fire and floods to escape to Ireland, but the original Tribe despise their presence, and violence rages throughout the country. Desperate to see her older brother, a soldier with the pro-refugee group Solidarity, Valentina plans an undercover trip to the Amber Zone with her friends Pippa and Damien and government official Joshua. The experience is shocking for Valentina as she witnesses the lives of the refugees and their families. When their journey is intercepted by a military group, Val and Pippa are kidnapped and must try to escape before Val's identity is discovered.
