Cassidy Gaine floated through life not really knowing her place in the world. She went to school, hung out with friends, volunteered at charities, but she never knew what she wanted to do with her life. That was, until she started getting recognized by art critics. Now that she's realized her talent, and her passion she's dedicated her time to it. Daffodil Swan is a great accountant with a skill for the calculator, but a passion far outside her comfort zone. She wanted to sing. Sing her heart out and reach stages like Madison Square Garden, but to do that she need to be signed under a record label. And what better place to get discovered than the Big Apple? There was only one thing that stood in their way, a relationship. One that only one of them wanted, and neither of them had time for. When Cassidy and Daffodil's hearts glowed for each other, they were at a loss for what to do. Do they throw away the dreams they have to be with each other? Or do they let their paths pull them in opposite directions?

Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed, and life will not be so kind. Hannah is adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents choose their social standing over their daughter and endures a life of struggle, hunger and service. One day Hannah is escorted to the regional government office and told that the Consultant who delivered her, who labelled her Flawed got it wrong! Now, she is being relocated back to her birth parents, to live as one of the Ninety-Five- all medically and legally judged as perfect. Entering this new life Hannah has an impossible decision to make which puts not only hers, but the lives of everyone she cares about at great risk.
