Delaney Escott lives in a world where popularity reigns supreme. If you want to be noticed, social status is everything. The government is run by the Superiors: a very exclusive group of individuals who are virtually flawless. They are smarter than us and stronger than us, and to join their ranks is the highest honor. The Superiors pay an annual visit to the top schools in the nation and evaluate the students, choosing one boy and one girl - the most Popular in the school - to go the Capitol and train for Superiority. Delaney thinks that she's the only one indifferent to (and perhaps even suspicious of) the Superiors, until Caleb Payne, the most popular boy in school, approaches her with a request. He has a task for her, one that he believes she is uniquely capable of completing. And as she helps him, Delaney discovers that the government is hiding many secrets - and that the truth of the Superiors is far from what people believe it to be.

Adriana Warren is a pretty normal teenager, if you look at it from her perspective. All she cares about involves acing her tests and graduating highschool after four long years of sleepless nights and opened books. With a workaholic step-dad and an overprotective mom, the only barriers standing in the way of achieving everything that her heart desires are her lungs. Tryston Brooks has eliminated the word 'love' from his dictionary as all seventeen years of his life seemed to be consumed by nothing other than gelidity. Being that misunderstood kid that walked through highschool's hallways turned the teenager helpless, watching as he turned into the vile creature everyone thought he was.

But when the pain shoots up the veins of each, the two drugged hearts realize that the only safety life could provide them lies in one another's arms. Impediments forthwith separate their intertwined fingers, their eyes avoiding the sight of one another. And there's no way out of the mayhem that breaks before their oculars, behind the truth, beyond their grasps, but consigning to oblivion, letting go, and exculpating their own selves.
