(Inspired by Alexandra Bracken's "The Darkest Minds") It's been a few months since the government has begun placing the kids who survived IAAN, a disease that killed 98% of America's child population, into rehabilitation camps around the country. Sorted into five color classifications- green (enhanced intelligence), blue (telekinesis), yellow (electrokinesis), red (pyrokinesis), and orange (mind control) - the children are locked in, their past lives stripped away from them and replaced by blank walls and harsh routine. Luke, a blue, teams up with his room to put their breakout plan in place after weeks of planning, even despite the potentially deadly consequences. The government has underestimated them, and they're about to show the world what a mistake that was.

Their breakout from Freeman Rehabilitation Camp was a success, but life isn't exactly what the group thought it would be. Now they're all staying off the grid, hiding out in an abandoned building to stay away from anyone who may report them and return them to one of the camps. Luke, the group's leader, has decided to go back to the camp with Desi and Olive to break out Kenna, the only girl who stayed behind. They've been longer than they should have been, though, and Carla and the others are getting nervous. Luke and the others meet some new friends in the woods while Carla and the others need to decide between staying to wait for the others to return and risk exposure, or to save themselves and leave the others behind. This is the sequel to "One Shot," inspired by Alexandra Bracken's "The Darkest Minds."
