In the isolated community of Harmony Station, on the planet of Nova Campi, everyone is blind—a deliberate act of genetic engineering. Sight is considered "a deception, a distraction," and the members of Harmony value the social good above individualism. Jacob has always been an obedient child, willing to accept the community's many rules. At almost 13, he is just about to graduate from school and discover what specialization in life the council will choose for him. However, his faith in his world is shaken when an older girl he admires tries to reject its lifestyle and attempts to run away. When Jacob mysteriously begins to gain sight, he starts to question Harmony's values even more. His new vision enables him to see the corruption that underlies the community and forces him to make difficult choices.
