When age rules the country, it’s hard to be young.

Trey runs away from the youth reserve, sure he’s no more than spare parts for a father he barely remembers. The Council of Elders has its own questions about the him. When Trey find the Underground and joins the fight to give rights back to the Youngers, he starts a chain of events beyond anyone’s control.

Generation Gap

While Trey, Red and Lizzy took Joe to a different safe house, Dan led the others back to the Underground.


The Underground mall was dim and quiet. Only a few dozen people remained working feverishly to install the last of their surprises for the expected invaders. The Middlers' council had cut all communication with the outside. As each part was completed another squad would make its way to the surface and split up across the city. They were given the task of starting a whisper campaign to lay the groundwork for the strike. What better way to fight back against those who exploited their labor than to go home and deprive the leaders of the value of their work?


Finally, only Jimmy was left with Annie, Bert and Dan. 


"It seems strange," Annie said. "I've never seen it this empty before. It feels like we are giving up."
