‘The Chase’’ was Louis’ favourite game, until it was not a game anymore. The manor they used to live in was his home, until it wasn’t anymore. The people he used to live with were his family, until they weren’t anymore. Simon used to be his Guardian, until he wasn’t anymore. He thought the world he was born into was supposed to be one without pain, but most importantly, without uncertainty. Yet, all he knew, all he hoped for, all his dreams and aspirations changed forever, that day…

All of their life, Niall, Harry, Zayn Liam and Louis had dreamed about going to the Outside World, but they couldn’t go beyond the gates or fence that separated them from the safety of the manor they all lived in and the Outside World. And they never heard from the 'lucky ones’, or how they were called, The Ones Who Made It, after they leave 'for a better future’ Outside. When one day they decide to go after one of the 'lucky ones’ that left, to say a last goodbye, they are met with a horrifying truth that will scar their lives forever. Secrets are revealead, people are not what they seem, and they don’t know who to trust. Will they ever get to the truth?
