Atoma is your normal, smart 15-year-old, about to undergo her Citizen Celebration Day ritual when her world is shattered in a school air shuttle crash. She wakes from surgery to discover she has no human rights. After running from the hospital, Atoma witnesses her mother brutally murdered by the Guardians, Earth Corp's paramilitary law enforcement goons.
