The Tower

Since the world's water supply had turned to poison six months ago, life had changed dramatically for Hurley. Even though he was only fifteen, he was forced to provide for his twin sister Miriam and his little brother Max. Finding safe water was getting harder and harder, and Hurley was getting desperate as he watched the line on the water drum sink a little lower every day.

After searching further and further from his home, Hurley is forced to go into the city, a meaner and more dangerous place than his neighborhood in the suburbs. After exploring as much as he dares, Hurley decides to attack a lightly guarded water tower near the edge of the city. With his dad's muscle car, Hurley runs through the gate and past the lone guard, then steals enough water to keep his family safe for a while longer.

Even as the extra water is making life seem a little more comfortable, however, a break-in at the house next door forces Hurley to realize that something has to change. Things are getting more desperate and everyone left in his neighborhood is getting low on water. Together with his friend Rex, Hurley reluctanlty becomes a leader in a war that will decide whether his family, friends and neighbors will live or die of thirst.
