Hector and Standish are friends. They live together in Zone Seven where the Motherland can keep them, and others like them, under surveillance.

When the friends find out something about the Motherland's plan for a moon landing their lives take on ever more threatening levels of change. And soon Standish finds he really does have to make a stand.

This is a powerfully original and moving story in which friendship and trust are the real weapons of opposition.
