3 years ago the sun burnt out, killing millions, leaving some orphaned, sisterless, brotherless, or without a family. All that remains are the strong and the Scars. The Scars are a strange mutation that came from the sun burning out half human, half zombie creating a type of cannibal with bites and scratches being the ultimate transformation to becoming one of them or a lethal death. To solve the issue the U.S. government killed off anyone under the age of 12 and forbidden anyone from conceiving again. Doctors came out with a solution that aged the human body 3 years, both mentally and physically. However the only people to receive this solution were the 12 years old which became known as the Perfect Years. A strange side effect is that each of the people who received the serum have a powerful physical or mental aspect that helps them to survive better than the regular human. Empire, one of the Perfect Years, has yet to discover her powerful aspect but is one of the strongest, and ruthless members of Boot Camp. Having started Boot Camp at age 15 after taking the serum like the rest of the Perfect Years now 3 years at the age 18 and getting ready to graduate she faces the ultimate test of will. The Cage. The Cage requires two members of the same year at Boot Camp to kill the other, they are matched of equal physical and mental strength but it is to weed out the weaker. The quicker the kill the better placed in society you are. Empire barely has the will to survive in this new world let alone the mental strength to kill one of her own. Will she become another grave in the ground, or a soldier like she was made to be?
