Now with Ethan gone, Mark has to take on many responsibilities, too many responsibilities in fact. With everyone turning their backs on him, himself getting more and more closed off and, on top of that, one new recruit, unaware of his past, seemingly purposefully trying to get under his skin, how will Mark lead the rebels to win this war?

Our main character, Ethan Nestor, lives under a dictatorship. And a very strict one at that. Each and every citizen has a very limited set of rights. And so, it's normal that they are very attached to them. One of those rights concerns one's hair color. It goes this way : "You cannot discriminate one based on one's hair color as long as it is the color that they were born with."
