Jenna Fox wakes from a comma after two years but remembers very little. What she does know is there are secrets being kept from her.

"I used to be someone. Someone named Jenna Fox. That's what they tell me. But I am more than a name. More than they tell me." (p.3)

As her memories return Jenna finds the world isn't as simple as she once thought it to be. The miracles of modern science have saved Jenna's life. But in return this same science has taken something away. Something big. Something no one wants to talk about. Is there any hope for Jenna to live a normal life again?
