Overpopulation is taking over. The world won't last much longer like this. 'The Testing' introduced an elimination system. Everyone has to go though a test. If you survive you live another month, if you die, it's over. Lewis and Willow have to find a way to survive in this crazy world with this crazy system. This is going to be harder than they think. Every month Lewis and Willow stare death in the eye during their tests. They realize not all people can we trusted when it comes to the testing. Apparently its easy enough to sabotage someone's test. Lewis barely made it out of his. Could anyone want him dead? Willow is shocked when she finds out something is really wrong with Lewis after he wakes up from his coma. Could he ever be the old Lewis again? --- If the Hunger Games and The maze runner had a baby it would be this book ;)
