In this futuristic world, no one needs to remember. Daily memories are uploaded to an e-cloud every evening, leaving space in the brain for more intensive opportunities, chances to relive favorite moments, and accurately retain life's details. But with a centralized, online database,  individuals lose control over their experiences. Memories can be manipulated, overwritten, erased. Sixteen-year-old Robbie is one of the few thinking about these flaws and their accompanying risks, thanks to his mother's job as a data scientist. Her secret observations seem to indicate a government lying to its people, but what does this mean for Robbie, for his family, for society? There is one person who may be able to help him, a girl in his classes who may have similar thoughts and observations of a world not as efficient and advanced as it appears to be. Though Aliyah avoids him, Robbie continues to study her, looking for an opportunity to confirm his suspicions--until the day he discovers something that reveals someone else is watching him watching her.

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.
