When a curious teenage boy named Talon explores this underground realm, he meets a girl named Beatrice, who introduces him to her unique society. As Talon becomes more immersed in their world, he discovers the challenges and conflicts that arise between the two societies above and below ground. With themes of identity, belonging, and understanding, the novel explores the stark contrasts between the lives of the privileged and the disenfranchised.
