They weren't reckless people, but in an instant, their actions alter fifteen-year-old Dell's sense of normal life forever. In the days that follow, he is saved before the authorities think to arrive.

But, as Dell discovers, in this new world of secrets and upheaval, he is not the only one whose past lies on the other side of the border.
