Casey Roy is a few months away from turning eighteen and leaving the North Carolina Children's Home for good when she is suddenly adopted by Dr. Mason, a scientist with a secret. Liam Fero, a file changing juvenile delinquent, is adopted along with Casey. They reluctantly stick together when Dr. Mason admits that they are meant to be used as lab rats. When the government wants in on Dr. Mason's experiments and Casey's friends are put in harm's way, it's up to her to sacrifice her long awaited freedom and save them.
