In a cold, distant future, where the Government brings new, harsher laws against truancy into force, fourteen-year-old Nyka Haversham finds that she has nowhere to turn. As the bullying meted out to her by two boys in her form gets worse but is cruelly ignored, so does her phobia of school - and truancy becomes her only means of escape.
