Synopsis: In a futuristic world of constant surveillance, seventeen-year-old Mila is hunted by government agents. She has only one advantage: a seven second delay on her monitored video feed. In just seven seconds, she can fake one direction and take off in the next. As she runs, the government positions Mila as a dangerous terrorist in the media. Soon the entire nation is watching her feed. When innocent civilians get hurt in the wake of Mila's path, the public wants her dead. Mila must use her seven seconds wisely to prevent a nationwide disaster--and to save her own life.
