13-year-old Flora lives with her guardian, Ramona, on the remote island of Tara where there are no computers, no tablets and no phones. They were all destroyed 40 years ago, at the time of a global plague, to keep the islanders safe and cut off from the rest of the world. Some time ago, Flora's parents disappeared, and the island rulers refer to them as traitors. At first, Flora was able to continue to visit her grandparents who live in a guarded compound where old people are kept segregated because of their knowledge of IT, but she's not been allowed to see them for months. One night Flora finds a mobile phone on the floor of her cottage. As she stares at it, she's grabbed from behind. Her attacker is Anders, a boy who used to be at her school. Pocketing the phone, he swears her to silence and vanishes. When Flora finally discovers where he's gone, she meets a group of rebels.
