In a dystopian future society, teen Nettie Starling lives among a privileged minority on Bliss Island's reality show. When her co-stars (and friends) start to disappear, Nettie spies on the show's creators and discovers a deadly secret. Inventive world-building and a (somewhat bland) romance will hold readers' interest through Nettie's brave departure for the challenges of real life on the mainland.
