Welcome to the future and the world of Spaz who needs to cross all of the quadrants of this frightening place to get to his foster sister who is very ill and in great danger. This glimpse into what we might become includes mind probes that people use to escape from the reality of their world and gangs who want to rule and through whose territory no one is permitted to pass. Along the way, Spaz meets Ryter, an old man with a book to write. Suspense, adventure and thoughtfulness give great dimensions to this tale.
