A totalitarian government only allows people to have two children. Luke is a hidden child — a third child who must live inside all the time and hide from everyone else. One day, he sees a girl in the window of a neighboring house and realizes that she must be a third child too. Through her, he learns of other third children and joins in the struggle against the government and the evil Population Police. The stories chronicle the struggles of Luke and other hidden children as they seek to bring freedom to their world.
