“Almost thirteen-year-old” Becker Mullins’ wish list is small – keep his family alive and see the sun again. It doesn’t shine in the windowless bomb shelter he hides in with his mom and little sister, or at night when he sneaks out to scour a destroyed and violent Seattle for food to steal.

When Beck finds a key to a hidden storeroom and uses his five-finger discount to get as much food as his starved, skinny body can carry, he runs away with friends, food, and a healthy dose of Vitamin D straight from the sun. But stealing from the wrong person has a price and soon there’s a reward out for his capture by the city’s crime lord. Beck has become the hunted. Little does he know that his quest to survive will change him – and the chaotic city of Seattle – forever.
