Mim's husband is missing. No one knows where Ben is, but everyone wants to find him, especially The Department. And they should know, the all-seeing government body has fitted the entire population with a universal tracking chip to keep them ?safe?.But suddenly Ben can?t be tracked. And Mim is questioned, made to surrender her passport and threatened with the unthinkable ? her two children being taken into care at the notorious BestLife.Cornered, Mim risks everything to go on the run to find her husband, and a part of herself, long gone, that is brave enough to tackle the journey ahead.From the stark backroads of the Australian outback to a terrifying sea voyage, Mim is forced to shuck off who she was, mother, daughter, wife, sister, and become the woman she needs to be to save her family and herself.
