Sinopsis

Missing. Lost. Dead?
 
People go missing every year. More than 600,000, in fact. Sometimes they are found. Sometimes, so much time goes by that people eventually give up. They must be dead. They’re gone. Vanished.
 
Where do they go?
 
Tess is one of those 600,000 people. Except she is not dead. Not lost. Tess has been taken.
 
Plucked from her taken-for-granted life and thrust into an impossible place, she must adapt to survive.
 
Is she trapped forever... or can she escape from The Contra?
