Gaia Stone lives in a future world where she is a midwife alongside her mother. Gaia's world is divided in two, those who live inside the walls of the Enclave and those outside. Gaia is on the outside. Gaia serves the Enclave, as many do. Every month, the first three babies she delivers are brought to live inside the Enclave. When Gaia's parents are arrested for things Gaia believes they never did, she begins to question all she knows. Is life inside the Enclave really all its made out to be?

Gaia Stone, a sixteen-year-old girl, is a midwife with her mother. It is her job to give a quota of babies to the Enclave every month. When Gaia's parents are captured by the Enclave, Gaia begins to question the people who control her life. She must either live in hope that her parents will come back or she will have to break every rule she has been taught to try and save them.
