Ruby’s surprised when her reclusive father invites a strange soldier into their house. Intrigued, she tries to eavesdrop on their conversation, but is alarmed when she hears a fight break out. She rushes to save her dad, but he’s not the one in trouble. The soldier has been stabbed and is bleeding. Refusing her pleas to call an ambulance, her dad urges her to pack a bag – they have to run. As they try to escape, her dad is shot and Ruby is chased by one of the soldier’s comrades but is hidden by Lucas, a village lad she has ignored up till now. They see a military-style ambulance whisk her dad away. She is desperate to find him but the village is quickly under siege. The roads in have been blocked and soldiers are patrolling the streets, urging everyone to stay indoors for their own safety. Ruby must work out who took her father and why. But what if learning the truth means discovering the life she once knew was a lie?
