|genre=Teens
|summary=Frank Palp lives in a dull, dystopian world, where ''The Grey'' pervades every aspect of life, from the food to the architecture. So insidious are these changes, that no-one seems to have noticed them, apart from Frank. His family, schoolmates and society in general seem to be completely oblivious to the sinister nature of the world around them and seem strangely content with the status quo. The all-powerful ''Ministry'' has a stranglehold on everything and everyone, with each household having its own assigned student, who records everything and reports suspicious activity to the mysterious Mr Vertex. Frank thinks he is the only person who hates this oppressive world, but one day he finds a message in a bottle with a wish for ''anything that isn't this,'' and goes on a desperate search for the person who wrote it; his potential soul-mate.
