Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the Utopia, where all major decisions are made by the Computer, life is farfrom idyllic for many. Three ordinary people find their lives intertwined in a society that demands conformity and obedience.Deron Boyd, a man struggling with loss and addiction, has been convicted of a crime he doesn't remember committing. Even though there's surveillance footage of him breaking into a Store and stealing drugs, he feels that something isn't quite right. Everything in the Utopia is free-there is no money-so why didn't he just wait until the Store opened?Matthew Tucker is a guard who transports criminals to the Utopia's labour camp, a place where Utopians work for twelve hours a day. He lives in constant fear of failing his duties and being sent back to the Camp himself. So when the leaders of the Utopia ask him, a lowly guard, for a meeting, he doesn't know what to think. Sakura Saito's story mirrors that of Deron's, with loss and addiction affecting every part of her life. When she arrives at the Camp, she becomes a beacon of hope and love in Deron's darkest days, though soon their relationship is strained with the inevitable hanging over them-Sakura's release and their unavoidable separation. But a friend thinks he has a plan to keep them together, though it requires them to risk it all.
