It is now 2118. Jade Grigs has lived in a system of pure control for 16 long years and for 64 more years, the Unity of Powers has kept its hold on the people below their watchful gazes. Each year, one child of significant intelligence is chosen with the hopes that their contribution to the UP will help build a better, safer world. The one they left behind decades ago was destroyed by their ignorance. Jade knows her turn is up, but what she doesn't know is that she is the key to it all. Will her curiosity lead to her demise? Or will she learn to stand up for herself and her people? Will the secrets that lie around her shake her courage? The truth is all there is left to discover and Jade will do anything to expose it. After all, the future is in her hands.
