Bart lives in the pressure cooker that’s the Black Hole; a neon-lit hell filled with prostitutes, pimps, and pushers. Muggings, murders, and mods are commonplace, and few earn enough credits to get by, let alone support a family.

Marcie Hugo and Drake Soldado are unusual travel companions united by similar goals. A teenage girl and a man in his 30s. One is returning home to honor a promise; the other needs to find his daughters, whom he hasn’t seen since they were taken from him and sold as slaves. Marcie has promised her best friend and childhood sweetheart that she’ll return from Prime City with the lung transplant he desperately needs. Neither reunion will be easy, but first they have to reach Scala City and the Blind Spot. Miles of wasteland stand before them. And neither Marcie nor Drake know the way.

When Marcie left the Blind Spot, she had just two things to accomplish: One, she needed to get lungs for Sal’s transplant. Secondly, she needed to set the Eye up for a new life in Prime City. Simple, right? So when she gets offered the lungs but no guarantee for the Eye’s safety, Marcie chooses to delay her return home. To make good on her promise to the Eye, she has to remain in Prime City for several months so she can run five more bounties for Mads. It’s a small price to pay to set her friend up for life.

Marcie thought preventing a war was tough. That’s because she’s never been to Prime City. To many, Marcie Hugo is a hero for the part she played in preventing a war between The Blind Spot and Scala City, but to The Eye and her best friend Sal, she’s a liar and a traitor. She manipulated The Eye to get what she needed from him, which led to the murder of a connected man. Being Wrench’s daughter, she’s untouchable, but because of her, The Eye now has a price on his head. He might be safely hidden, but time’s running out.
