Oscar Banks, the teenage son of the town's founder, is in on the secret and has been using his own specially designed Messages to lead a quiet revolution against his father's control by helping teens flee.

Oscar's narration is especially deft at adding a layer of humanity to the control-freak stereotype of his father while he presents his own complex, if entirely selfish, motivations: not really a noble warrior fighting against an immoral tyrant, Oscar is instead a self-serving kid trying to get his grieving father's attention and often engaging in the very same behavior he is railing against.
