In the near future, in a world that could be, but is not quite, ours, sixteen-year-old Clem is happy. Celebrating her birthday surrounded by friends, family and a warm summer evening, there's nothing that could ruin this day. But by morning, everything has changed. After years of a growing totalitarian regime, civil unrest in London has reached an all-time high, and it's no longer safe to stay in the city. Fleeing with nothing but her half-sister Billie, a notebook filled with stories and memories of home, Clem must make the treacherous journey to Edinburgh, first by road and then by boat. What waits for the sisters on the other side - the start of a new life, or a mirror held up to the past?
