The ultimate tale of teen rebellion - one seventeen-year-old
against the surveillance state. Big Brother is watching you. Who's
watching back? Marcus is only seventeen years old, but he figures
he already knows how the system works - and how to work the system.
Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no
trouble outwitting his high school's intrusive but clumsy
surveillance systems. But his whole world changes when he and his
friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major
terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong
time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of
Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison, where
they're mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally
releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police
state, where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist.
He knows no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one
option: to take down the DHS himself.
