Kayla has resisted getting the bar code tattoo, even though it's meant forfeiting any chance she'd had at having a normal life. Without the tattoo, she's an exile. But when someone very important sets about to bring her back in again -- WITH a tattoo -- Kayla finds herself a part of the resistance, where her unexpected allies and even more unexpected enemies include three clones of hers. An edge-of-your-seat, teen's-eye-view thriller that merges the headlines of today with the world of tomorrow.
