When sixteen-year-old Judith meets Cain, she has no idea what she's getting herself into. Cain is the most beautiful human being Judith has ever seen, but he hides a dangerous secret. When Jo-Jo, Cain's surrogate father, offers her a job, she accepts, unaware she's been recruited as a pawn in Jo-Jo's eco-terrorist plot. The New Recruit is a timely story, exploring how, without love and support from those around them, our disenfranchised youth can be so easily misguided.
