Somehow, from box seven, Tru has to deal with her father trying to protect her, her troubled brother in box eleven, and come up with a solution to the world''s problems in her science class. But why was her sister sent away, and will her mother ever return? Will anyone ever feel emotions properly again? Tru has a crowbar, and one way or another, she''s going to see what happens when she flips the switch.
