In the near future, a few young women manifest extraordinary abilities called "Shine." Each girl's ability is different. Some develop extraordinary mental abilities. Some become physically strong. Others have powers that defy description. But the world does not embrace these Shines. It fears them. Camille's ability to make others see what she wants them to see is no longer a secret. Her best friend is dead. Her home is not safe. Armed with only a list of known Shines and the rumor of a secret Shine headquarters, Camille embarks on a road that seems to lead nowhere. She's determined to fight the government oppression of Shines--and her attraction to a boyfriend she can't trust. But when Camille is captured by someone bent on exploiting her Shine, she realizes the fight is not just about her freedom but her life. Will she discover what's at the end of the road to nowhere? Or will she become a slave to someone who sees her only as a means to a very profitable and deadly end?
