After a blissful childhood on a Texas ranch, Alex learns she’s an illegal refugee from a brutal regime. She carries a harmless bit of DNA from a regional vaccine. If that marker is detected at the standard security genetic screenings, she will be returned to a likely death. When her adoptive father disappears, Alex risks a dangerous and often hilarious race across nations to save him, dodging g-screens, navigating a love triangle, & testing the nature of family, loyalty, and moral obligation.
