Oscar Banks has everything under control. In a town called Candor, Florida life is perfect. Everyone is happy, healthy, and well-behaved -- because Oscar's father is brainwashingeveryone with secret subliminal messages that are embedded in classical music that is played all over town day and night. Oscar's found a way to secretly fight the messages. But he's got everyone fooled: he's got the perfect GPA, the perfect girlfriend, and the perfect cover. Nobody would suspect the town founder's son of treason, so nobody knows that Oscar's made some messages of his own to deprogram his brain. Oscar has even found a way to get rich. For a hefty price, he helps new kids escape Candor, Florida before they're transformed into cookie-cutter teens. But then Nia Silva moves to Candor, and Oscar's carefully-controlled world crumbles.
