Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, and less emotional. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation).
Wrens favorite part of the job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst shes ever seen. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human.

Wren has never disobeyed before and knows if she does, shell be eliminated, too. But she has also never felt as alive as she does around Callum.
The perfect soldier is done taking orders.
