In Luke Garner’s world people are only allowed to have two children, all third children are hunted down and killed by the government. Luke is a third child, also known as a shadow child. He has spent his whole life hiding on his family’s farm, and he’s never left the property. Until a housing development was built near his family’s home, Luke was allowed to go outside, but now he’s confined to his room in the family’s attic. One day, when Luke’s looking through the vents in the attic, he sees the face of a child in the widow of a home, a home that he knows already has two children. Luke’s convinced he saw a shadow child, someone like him. Unable to resist the idea of someone like him, Luke sneaks out of his house to investigate. He discovers Jen. Jen’s a third child, like Luke. Jen wants to be free, and she willing to risk everything, even her life to become free. Jen’s planning a rally at the capitol, a rally of shadow children. Jen wants to show the government that there is nothing wrong with being a shadow child. Jen wants Luke to go to the rally with her, but he’s afraid, because the rally could mean death for him and many others.
