But when Chance suspects he’s a pawn in a much larger, deadlier game, he has to decide how much his integrity is worth.- Poverty and Privilege: A gritty look at life on the margins, contrasting a teen living on a broken-down sailboat with the seemingly perfect lives of his classmates.- A Patriotic Question: In a world shaped by terrorism, Chance is forced to confront what patriotism really means and where his loyalties truly lie.
