Bea, Alina a Quinn jsou na útěku. Odstartovali povstání a byli nuceni odejít z kapsule, jediného místa, kde je dostatek kyslíku. Bea přišla o rodinu, Alina ztratila domov a Quinn výsadní postavení. Podaří se jim přežít v nebezpečné Divočině? Mohou dokončit revoluci, již začali? V patách jim je mladý voják ze Speciálních jednotek a jejich jedinou šancí je zůstat pohromadě, přestože je okolností nutí se rozdělit. Budoucnost lidstva je v ohrožení a tito čtyři mladí lidé se musí rozhodnout, kde leží jejich loajalita.

Nic pro nás není tak přirozené jako dýchání. Představte si ale svět, ve kterém si jen privilegovaní mohou koupit dostatek kyslíku k tomu, aby mohli tančit či si zahrát obyčejný fotbal. Svět, kde chudí jen stěží zaplatí účet za vzduch nezbytný k životu. Svět, v němž po netušené katastrofě přežívá zbytek obyvatel v hermeticky uzavřených městech s vlastní atmosférou. Pustou planetu Zemi, kde nejvzácnějším rostlinným druhem je obyčejný strom. Právě v takovém světě žije Alina, Bea, Quinn a jejich přátelé. Od ostatních mladých lidí se liší svou přemýšlivostí a odvahou něco ve svém okolí změnit. Odvahou nadechnout se jinak než druzí – svobodně. Dystopický román mladé irsko-americké autorky plný dobrodružství, při němž se doslova tají dech.
