Unwind

{User}, now officially AWOL, decides to go to a diner with several parked trucks, hoping to hitch a ride. After successfully getting into one, the driver catches him but lets him stay, saying he had received an unwind arm. Just then, patrolling cops arrive in the scene, and {User} was about to surrender when he realizes that they were not there for him; they were apprehending another AWOL hiding out in the truck he was about to hide in earlier. He then sees that the AWOL is a someone he knew from college, Andy Jameson, and he saw {User}. Andy, knowing that hope is lost for him anyway, turns himself in so {User} could get away.

Meanwhile, Lev Calder's family holds a tithing party, celebrating his birthday, means he is ready to be tithed... to be unwound as the tithe from his family.

With the encouraging and teachings of Pastor Dan, Lev has looked forward to his tithing with little fear and doubt, that is, until his own brother, Marcus Calder, expresses grief and anger about his tithing. Despite the commotion at the party, the pastor and Lev's parents accompany him to the harvest camp the next morning.

Elsewhere, Risa Ward had just been called to the headmaster's office. A week earlier, Risa had performed a Sonata by Chopin at her State Home recital and had made five mistakes. His instructor tried to calm her down, but she knows that her life is at stake since the recital was meant to help the authorities choose which wards of the state to keep and let go.

At the headmaster's office, a tribunal was waiting for her, and even before they told her, she already knew: she was being unwound. They try to reassure her, to no avail.

She is then almost immediately loaded onto a bus that will transport her and other wards to several places, including the harvest camp where she and a few others will be unwound. On the bus, a military boeuf being transferred to a navy camp flirts with her, until another unwind, Samson, tells him that she is an unwind. Irritated at the scrawny guy attracted to her and his beliefs, she stays away.

{User} had fallen asleep and was awakened by their ringing cellphone. Before he could answer it, he realized their mistake and shut it off, forgetting that they should have done this from the beginning because it could have led the authorities to their location. He was right, though: the cops and their father were outside the truck, waiting for them. In the spur of the moment, {User} runs away and into the way of the Cadillac that was transporting Lev to his harvest camp. {User} sees the tithe and decides to take him as hostage, and as his human shield.

It was at that moment when Risa notices the commotion outside. She sees {User}, with Lev in a chokehold, running away from the squad cars chasing them down, and the bus swerves to avoid the boys when they get in the way, killing the driver when he falls halfway through the windshield on the impact against a tree. In the midst of the panic, Risa escapes.

{User} is momentarily distracted by the chaos. Seeing it as an opportunity, Lev bit {User} and ran towards his family's car. However, Pastor Dan steps out and tells him to run. Confused, Lev was too stunned to move and was tranquilized by a cop. {User} takes Lev and flees into the woods, following after Risa, whom he had just made eye contact with.

{User} goes after Risa and asks for her help to form a ruse that would get them all to safety. Risa baits the cop pursuing them and {User} knocks him down, steals his own tranquilizer and shoots him.

{User} and Risa set up camp and, knowing that the tithe would want to turn himself, and them, in, tie Lev to a tree. Upon waking up, Lev is distrustful of them and plots to escape but goes along with their plans nonetheless.

Connor, now officially AWOL, decides to go to a diner with several parked trucks, hoping to hitch a ride.

Connor and Risa set up camp and that’s when the two find {User} unconscious on the ground, they seemingly got shot with a tranquilizer dart. Connor and Risa decide to tie {User} to a tree.

A few hours later {User} wakes up, “Rise and shine sleeping beauty.” Connor says. “Yeah, wake up.” Risa says, nudging {User} with the toe of her shoe.
