    New chapters every week! Ben struggles to care for himself and his younger twin sisters in a possession-powered surveillance state where you never know who else is looking out through your own eyes. But when strangers break in to their home one night, their safety is threatened. The strangers claim to be friends of Peter's, the young man who has lived with them for the past few years. But despite their bond, what does Ben really know about Peter and his past? And will ghosts from Peter's past destroy them all?
