Chapter 1

Kendra Smithens spent her entire life believing that the technologically advanced city, New York, was the only way of living. And that the only way to make it better is to be upgraded from the rusty Outer City to the exclusive Inner City. But is it? Can she escape the heavily guarded New York using the help of a strange boy? Will she trust him enough to use his help? And will she finally find a place where she won't have to listen to the cogs?
