When the lights go out one night, no one panics. Not yet. The lights always come back on soon, don’t they? Surely it’s a glitch, a storm, a malfunction. But something seems strange about this night. Across Europe, controllers watch in disbelief as electrical grids collapse. There is no power, anywhere.

A former hacker and activist, Piero Manzano investigates a possible cause of the disaster. The authorities don’t believe him, and he soon becomes a prime suspect himself. With the United States now also at risk, Piero goes on the run, desperate to uncover who is behind the attacks. After all, the power doesn’t just keep the lights on—it keeps us alive.

Darcy hooks up, gets drunk, lies to her mom, and smokes. Because of this, her small town in rural Maine labels her “trashy,” “easy,” and “slutty.” What she’s doing isn’t any different from what the guys in her town do, yet she’s the only one who gets flack for it.
But the fun is what’s been keeping Darcy’s mind off the things she wants to forget: a disturbing secret she shares with her cousin Nell, the mysterious disappearance of her ex-best friend, and that hazy Fourth of July party that ended with Darcy drunk and unsure of what exactly happened.
