Police officers storm your house and take your family away. You are completely alone. What do you do? Laurel Smith lives in a world where the police have turned bad. Known as CYCLOPS, they spy on the public and force innocent people to commit crimes. When Laurel's family is snatched, she is rescued and smuggled onto the Isle of Wight by a network of anti-CYCLOPS rebels. Laurel discovers that the island is harbouring a great secret, and soon finds herself embroiled in a plot to overthrow CYCLOPS. Her once quiet life becomes a web of subterfuge and sabotage, cross and double-cross, where lies are normal and nothing is what it seems to be. Can the rebels stay one step ahead of CYCLOPS - or will the police crush the rebellion and tyrannize Britain for ever?
