Aware of the dangers involved, the run is still too good to pass up. However, the place may not be as abandoned as it seems-and the clock is ticking. Also, there are powerful enemies who don't like what the Right2RepairRigger is doing, and are willing to destroy whoever they can to put a stop to it-including arresting anyone possibly connected with the twins' program. Can Landon and Liana finish the run and save their family at the same time?
