But the lure of climbing over the Barrier and exploring the abandoned amusement park next to Vista proves too strong, and before she knows it, Gabry's formerly protected world is completely shattered. The boy she was secretly in love with has become a completely different person, and her best friend's life has been destroyed. And soon Vista will no longer be safe from the never-ending hunger of the Mudo ...
