Bookroo's summary

In a world where unwinding teens for organ transplants is big business, Connor, Lev, and Risa's revolt challenges its morality. Cam, a teen made from unwound parts, grapples with his identity and soul. As a ruthless bounty hunter targets them, Cam's fate intertwines with the rebels, forcing him to confront the essence of humanity. Can they dismantle the system before it expands to prisoners and the poor?

From the publisher

Rife with action and suspense, this riveting companion to the perennially popular “Unwind “challenges assumptions about where life begins and ends–and what it means to live.Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa–and their high-profile revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp–people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens while simltaneously providing much-needed tissues for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. However, unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but also expand to the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished. Cam is a product of unwinding; made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds, he is a teen who does not technically exist. A futuristic Frankenstein, Cam struggles with a search for identity and meaning and wonders if a rewound being can have a soul. And when the actions of a sadistic bounty hunter cause Cam’s fate to become inextricably bound with the fates of Connor, Risa, and Lev, he’ll have to question humanity itself.
