𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝟔, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎 ~~~~ From the dusty highway, a driver wouldn't notice the submontane community miles from the road. Nor could they guess what goes on at the factory sitting in the middle of the heavily guarded, gated community - a community built nearly a century ago. Matilda Esperanza is a thirteen-year-old girl who's family has lived and worked in the community for generations. Day in, and day out, they slave away at the factory while the company owners stare down at them from their viewing window. The one dream Matilda's mother has for her is to escape, and live a better life beyond the guarded fence because something sinister is going within the community. It hits too close to home when Matilda's mother falls ill, and she's offered a cure through a mysterious medicine paid for by the factory. Then, when her mother and friend go missing, Matilda suspects the factory owners are involved. Ten years later, she's still haunted by their disappearance but questions if they simply abandoned her to live beyond the fence? The answers aren't far when a new factory manager shows up - one with an all too familiar face. Can Matilda trust this blast from the past? Or are they just another cog in the factory's agenda and looking at her as the next target?
