Joshua Barratt is a fifteen-year-old boy who is unexpectedly forced to leave Hartland, the only home he’s ever known. On the road, in a dystopian future, where computers no longer function, and money no longer has any value, Joshua's mind, body and spirit are pushed to their limits. Conflicts arise that make him question his own worth and, ultimately, make him question the reality around him. A gift beyond his comprehension is waiting for him, if he can just find the courage to seek it.
