Synopsis

Evelyn Smith is unhappy with her life. It's hot and boring in the Lowers where she lives and she is desperate to get out. But the only way to get out is to be cast as an Extra in one of the four productions. Extras who are cast get to stay in the Uppers, where all the rich and famous people live. At least, that's what The Company, the people responsible for casting the productions, tells them. After scamming her way into what she thinks will be a better life by assuming a new identity, Evelyn, now Jane, begins work on the action production as a stand-in for Lana, one of the most famous actresses in the Uppers. But Jane soon finds out that the grass is not always greener in the clouds. Lana is sadistic and cruel and The Company's lies start to reveal themselves in horrific ways. Jane eventually becomes part of the resistance, a piecemeal band of vampires, werewolves, zombies, and humans. Their goal: over throw their sadistic ruler, Ronald Beaten, destroy The Company and stop the killing. Throughout her journey, Jane meets and falls in love with Lincoln, the broken, drug addicted husband of Lana. As their relationship develops, they find that they both need each other in different ways, and if they are going to survive they have to work as a team to lead the resistance and save the Extras. Jane's world is about get a whole lot bigger and she'll soon realize that the human experience, something the Extras are denied in the Lowers, is a lot more complicated than she realizes.
