There he meets another boy who introduces Rob to the very different society, and all the wondrous things that come with it.

And when sinister secrets are revealed, Rob is forced to make a choice: stay in the County, where everything is a perfect lie, or return to the Conurb, where life is hard, horrible, and real.
