Pioneer runs the Community, a secluded and self sustaining farm environment of approximately 50 families where the outside world is limited. No phones, internet or influences that Pioneer doesn’t control. He makes the rules and punishments and demands total loyalty.
Lyla is now 17. Her family has been part of the Community since the 9/11 terrorists attacks and her mother is grateful that there is nothing of that magnitude within their residents. Lyla accidentally meets a boy about her age from the outside world and she’s fascinated with his life and freedom. But she has to forget about him because Pioneer has proclaimed that the world is under attack and they all must retreat and live on the emergency silos they’ve built. Pioneer is a prophet and the Community must follow his will.
