Resist picks up Tommy and Careen's adventures as they
join the Resistance and work to overthrow the oppressive
OCSD.
Tommy and Careen are no longer naïve, frightened
teenagers who believe the Office of Civilian Safety and
Defense’s miracle antidote can protect them from a
terrorist’s chemical weapons. They’ve accidentally
discovered the antidote’s real purpose: to create a
population bereft of free will, incapable of defying the
tyrannical OCSD.
They join the Resistance to fight back, and take part in
a plan to rescue a group of dissenters imprisoned for
speaking out against the OCSD, but things spin out of
control and soon they’re on the run, dodging the quadrant
marshals in a headlong dash for the Resistance’s secret
headquarters in a remote mountain quadrant.
Careen believed she had a chance to change things for the
better when she impulsively interrupted a live OCSD press
conference. She had everyone’s attention when she made a
desperate bid to reveal the truth: that the terrorist
threat was fabricated by the government so people would
willingly take the so-called antidote, which controlled
their thoughts and actions. Just minutes after security
removed her from the room, the OCSD director dropped
dead. That unfortunate coincidence made Careen a perfect
scapegoat, and she was accused of his murder.
To make matters worse, Madalyn Davies has taken over the
helm at the OCSD—and she’s even more volatile,
unpredictable, and power-hungry than her predecessor.
Tommy helps Careen, known to the public only as the
mystery rebel, to escape, and they hope she can stay
anonymous until they have a chance to clear things up,
but all too soon, someone Careen should’ve been able to
trust reveals her identity.
Being part of the Resistance brings with it a whole new
set of challenges. Not everyone working for change will
prove trustworthy, and plans to spark revolution go awry
with consequences far greater than they could’ve
imagined.
Tommy and Careen’s relationship is tested when their
philosophical differences and the pressures of
interpersonal rivalries and jealousy put a strain on
their romance. Can they make time for each other while
trying to start a revolution?
