In rural Indiana, Noah and his impoverished family wrestle with the mysterious return of his now mute sister, Lauren, who was kidnapped and held captive for over a decade.

In a dystopian future where pain and emotion have been suppressed by a government-issued drug called Torpase, Joshua Barrett coasts through the monotony of his repetitive, workaday life. But when he's kidnapped by a rebellious priest, Joshua is exposed to a world beyond Torpase, changing everything he thought he knew about what it means to live.
