The problem is that he can't see freedom as a true possibility. A genetically-altered clone called a \u003cem\u003emodel\u003c\/em\u003e, Ordell was taught that his kind were worthless, dangerous creatures only good for manual labor. Among his peers, rumors abound of a secret society that can whisk models to freedom and deliver them to the far away land of Canada abound, but Canada is a long way from League City, Texas, where he spends his days working construction. Ordell has seen first-hand what happens when models step too far out of line. When his clandestine \u003cem\u003enon-model\u003c\/em\u003e girlfriend is murdered by a blood-purity group called HPM, Ordell finds himself running for his life -- a life that he's not sure that he still wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStumbling into his dead lover's abandoned daughter, Harper Rawls, the two form a bond that can only come from shared tragedy.
