Just after the global war of 2032, Earth’s population stood at 5000, and orphaned newborn, Ellis Bauer, was one of the lucky survivors. For twenty years, her small world was perfect—no war, no hunger, no poverty, no crime.

Now, bizarre behavior is escalating within her walled, pre-war town called Horizon built to shelter political big shots when the inevitable doomsday arrived.

The more truths Ellis uncovers, the more her life quickly unravels after witnessing something astounding town officials want to be forgotten. Troubling memories are discouraged in Horizon, and as a cautious reminder, posters are everywhere—Release the Memory, Release the Pain.

But somehow, Ellis is resistant to memory tampering—a dangerous fact no one must learn. An enticing stranger enters her life who seems to know something about the realities hidden from the Horizon 5000 and their descendants.

Determined to unearth the deadly secrets about her once-perfect haven, Ellis doesn’t realize the answers she seeks could trigger the extinction of mankind.
