Candor, the perfect town. And Oscar Banks is the perfect son. Or so everyone thinks.
Oscar is class president, straight A student, and Mr. Popular. All the kids in Candor look up to him. He is also the only bad kid in town, not that anyone knows. His dad, the town's founder, controls everyone with subliminal messages, exhorting the residents of Candor to eat healthy, study hard, obey their parents, and "respectful space in every place". Oscar fights the mind control by creating his own messages. He even has his own business helping new teens escape to the real world. And then Nia Silva arrives.
Nia is an artist with a troubled past. She's different from every Candor kid and Oscar falls for her, hard. But as much as she's unconsciously resisting the messages, it won't be long before Nia turns into just another boring Candor clone. And Oscar knows the only way to save her is to lose her.
In Candor, you are what you hear.
