The third hardest thing sixteen year old Newt had ever done was leaving everything he knew to go to America. The second hardest thing he'd ever done was jumping off the wall of his school. The hardest thing he'd ever done was falling in love with a boy called Thomas. (Everything belongs to James Dashner)

The flare has been cured but, there's still a few cranks left on earth. Some cranks were killed, others were cured, and the ones who couldn't be killed or cured, well they were in a sanctuary or prison. However, you'd like to say it. All the gladers are living a normal college life. Thomas and Teresa are always in fights and on the verge of splitting. Newt is single, Minho aswell. But when Thomas gets with Newt, trouble stirs. Newt gets infected by a crazy crank that has escaped from the prison-like sanctuary. What will they do?
