Mondays are never easy for an introvert like Gwen, but the Monday right after spending a harrowing weekend trapped in a government simulator is especially difficult, and that's saying a lot given that she just spent days dealing with life-or-death situations and a twisted love triangle. It's hard to take in, and it doesn't help that the school is abuzz with rumors. She hates being the center of attention, and she wishes it would all just go away, but the day goes from bad to worse when she and Ryan begin exhibiting troubling symptoms…hallucinations and haunting visions, and that night, the dreams begin.
At first, they aren't so bad, but as days go by and their symptoms worsen, Gwen begins to suspect that the government simulator may have somehow tricked them into believing they made it out okay, but in reality, they're still trapped in Eve 2.0.
