The Gardener by S.A. Bodeen

What lengths will you go to to protect the planet?

Mason has never met his father. The only thing he has is a video of him reading a picture book, Runaway Bunny. Mason's mom works at a nursing home and barely makes ends meet. Mason is the victim of a childhood dog attack, leaving him with an ugly scar on one side of his face.

One day, Mason decides to snoop around in his mom's room and finds some news that greatly disturbs him- his mom actually worked for the biomedical engineering company TroDyn that she despises! He rushes to the nursing home to confront his mom, but finds that she isn't taking care of old people at all. She's taking care of a bunch of comatose teens!

On accident, Mason wakes up one of the girls and she begs him for help. When he doesn't really offer much, she takes off with Mason following. Soon Mason finds himself helping "the girl" figure out her past and get away from TroDyn. What he doesn't know is he is also uncovering his past.
