YA
After his parents are killed in an accident, NECorp, the manufacturer responsible for their deaths, adopts Jaiden. Being raised by "managers" instead of parents is certainly strange, but they're the only family Jaiden has. When he discovers information that could destroy the company, he struggles with what to do. The intriguing setup bolsters the slow plotting and underdeveloped characters.
