Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a mission : locate two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase.
As the days pass, Ethan’s investigation turns up more questions than answers : Why can’t he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world ? Why doesn’t anyone believe he is who he says he is ? And what is the purpose of the electrified fences surrounding the town ? Are they meant to keep the residents in ? Or something else out ?
Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan farther from the world he knew, from the man he was, until he must face a horrifying fact – he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.
