Kate Messner's "Breakout" follows Nora, who eagerly anticipates her summer in Wolf Creek, contributing to the Community Time Capsule Project. Her plans are disrupted when two inmates escape from a nearby prison, prompting a community lockdown.

She observes how fear can bring out the worst in people and fears lasting changes to her community. Messner crafts a compelling narrative exploring the impact of fear and uncertainty on a small town.
