The world that Matt lives in is really no different from ours. He goes to school, he likes to play sports, and he worries about how his family spends money. Matt sounds like lots of kids I know, but the world he lives in is very different. As a way to keep its citizens from spending too much, all families in Matt's world are given a credit limit. No family can spend over that limit, and if they do their oldest child is taken and required to work to pay off the debt of their family. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Matt is soon taken and brought to a pretty swanky work house. While Matt's new digs are pretty nice, he begins to suspect that something just isn't right. With his new friends, Matt begins to challenge the system. But can one 15 year old boy take down an entire system?
