Sacrificing Serenity

What would you sacrifice to keep your kids healthy?

With the rollback of environmental regulations, clean drinking water has become a luxury for the rich.

A year after the death of her husband, single mother Reggie Stone is barely holding things together. Her nonprofit construction company has run out of funding, her son is being bullied at school, and with the rising cost of bottled water it's becoming harder by the day to provide her kids with food, water, and a safe place to live. Fueled by desperation, she calls in the one advantage she swore she would never take and moves them to Serenity, the original Sanctuary City, an experimental town surrounded by a smart grid that filters out all pollutants. The only downside is the Sanctuary Cities are run by Reggie's estranged parents whose love and approval has always been dependent on how well their children preform in the sciences.

Reggie assumes the blunt disapproval and passive aggressive comments from her parents are the worst she'll have to deal with, but she soon realizes things aren't what they seem in the city. Unexplained gaps in the residents' memories sets Reggie off on a mission to discover what's really going on inside the smart grid before her children lose all their memories of their father.
