But as she puts the pieces of her life back together, a few don't fit. Soon Brynn starts having flashbacks--hazy memories of being abducted and possibly brainwashed. It's all connected to a wonder drug to treat PTSD that might actually be the ultimate weapon: a tool to control people's memories. And Brynn can't trust the people who know the truth--her best friend turned enemy, her genius scientist mother with a secret, and Brynn herself, whose memories might all be lies. Now, to stop a possible terrorist attack, Brynn has to uncover what she's been forced to forget--and learn what side she's really on"--Jacket flap.
