Thirteen year old Watford Nine John knows no other life than his House, where he lives and works, in placid ponderous labour with all the other residents. But a chance encounter one day with one of the Lost Ones changes his life. His escape to freedom becomes just the first step in unravelling the secrets of the Houses and the reason why everyone is being drugged.
