As creatures from different worlds, Tesla and Lynx should never have met. The A-ones and Underdwellers don't mix in the Dome, but Tesla is no ordinary A-one. She isn't afraid to question everything.
Her entire life, she had been taught that the Underdwellers lacked the basic capacity to love or understand the high moral ground of loyalty. Something in her always questioned the absolute truth of this kind of prejudicial thinking. Then, quite by accident, she witnesses something that shakes her already shaky faith in these beliefs. Captivated, she watches Lynx, an Underdweller, defend a friend-an act she was told was impossible for these brutish creatures. In that moment, she knows that she doesn't know the truth. Tesla saves Lynx from certain death and, in a moment of inspiration and fear, asks him for a favor that puts them both in danger. It's a favor that could be the undoing of the Dome itself.
