The governments of Rheta declare that safety and stability can only be restored through a mandatory barcode tattoo for every citizen. It's a new ID, a new passport, a new way of life.
For Lydia and her friends, it's something far more sinister.
Now, in a world where obedience is enforced by military rule and dissent is a death sentence, Lydia and her friends must fight back. Their mission is a desperate one: destroy the central data facility and tear down the system from within.
As they race against time, they uncover a chilling truth that suggests this new world order is only the beginning of a much older, darker war.
