Nic pro nás není tak přirozené jako dýchání. Představte si ale svět, ve kterém si jen privilegovaní mohou koupit dostatek kyslíku k tomu, aby mohli tančit či si zahrát obyčejný fotbal. Svět, kde chudí jen stěží zaplatí účet za vzduch nezbytný k životu. Svět, v němž po netušené katastrofě přežívá zbytek obyvatel v hermeticky uzavřených městech s vlastní atmosférou. Pustou planetu Zemi, kde nejvzácnějším rostlinným druhem je obyčejný strom.Právě v takovém světě žije Alina, Bea, Quinn a jejich přátelé. Od ostatních mladých lidí se liší svou přemýšlivostí a odvahou něco ve svém okolí změnit. Odvahou nadechnout se jinak než druzí – svobodně. Dystopický román mladé irsko-americké autorky plný dobrodružství, při němž se doslova tají dech.
