The judge advised Carl that one day he'd have to choose just what kind of person he would become. But on Phoenix Island, the choice will be made for him. A champ boxer with a pointed hook and a short temper, 16-year-old Carl Freeman has been shuffled from foster home to foster home. He can't seem to be to remain out of trouble - using his fists to defend weaker classmates from bullies. His latest incident sends his opponent to the emergency room, and today the judge is mailing Carl to the worst place on globe: Phoenix Island. Grouped as a "terminal service", it is the end of the range for delinquents who've no home, no family, and no future. Located anywhere far off the shoreline of the United States - and immune to its regulations - the island is a grueling Spartan-style boot camp run by sadistic drill sergeants who show no mercy to their young, orphan trainees. Sentenced to remain until his 18th birthday, Carl packages to play by the rules, so he makes friends along with his wisecracking bunkmate, Ross, and a strange gray-eyed girl known as Octavia. But he makes opponents, too, and after a few rough scrapes, he makes himself the nickname "Hollywood" as well as a string of punishments, including a brutal nighttime in the "sweatbox". But that's nothing at all compared to what awaits him in the "Chop Shop" - a hidden knowledge government lab where Carl is given something he never dreamed of. A new life.... A fresh body. A fresh brain. Gift ideas from the fatherly Old Man, who wants to transform Carl into something he's not sure he wants to become. For this is not a ordinary government task. Phoenix Island is earth zero for the future of combat intelligence. And then for Carl, it's just the start.
