Quand tout un chacun peut lire dans l’esprit des autres, il devient dangereux de garder un secret.
À seize ans, Kira Moore n’est qu’une Zéro, quelqu’un qui ne peut lire dans les pensées des autres, et dont les autres ne peuvent pas lire les pensées non plus. Les gens comme elle sont des parias à qui on ne peut faire confiance, ce qui ne lui laisse aucune chance d’avenir avec Raf, le meilleur ami télépathe dont elle est amoureuse en secret.
Mais lorsqu’elle prend le contrôle de l’esprit de Raf par accident et manque de le tuer, Kira tente de cacher ce nouveau pouvoir qui l’effraie à sa famille, ainsi qu’à Raf lui-même, dont la méfiance grandit chaque jour un peu plus.
Mais les mensonges ne font que se resserrer autour d’elle, l’entraînant au plus profond du monde caché des mindjackers, où prendre le contrôle des gens qu’elle aime n’est que le début de la longue liste des choix mortels qui l’attendent.

Huit mois plus tôt, Kira Moore a révélé au monde des télépathes que les mindjackers comme elle étaient cachés parmi eux. Désormais, elle se demande si dire la vérité était une bonne chose, après tout.
Alors que des rumeurs abracadabrantesques se répandent, un puissant politicien anti-jacker profite de la peur des télépathes pour dépouiller les jackers de leurs droits.
Alors que certains fuient vers Jackertown, un bidonville rempli de jackworkers qui échangent des faveurs de contrôle d’esprit pour de l’argent, Kira et sa famille se cachent des télépathes qui ont peur d’elle et des jackers qui la détestent.
Mais un membre du Clan fait s’écrouler son petit ami Raf dans ses bras, Kira se voit forcée de sauver les gens qu’elle aime en affrontant la chose qu’elle craint le plus : l’agent Kestrel du FBI et sa chambre de torture expérimentale pour jackers.
