"i'm tired of seeing innocent children die just because they weren't born with genius brains. "their lives matter just as much as everyone else's." •~• it's the year 4854. no one expected the earth to live this long. but alas, it has. the systems we know now have been corrupted and twisted to their maximum points, so much so that new technologies lead to a great war of famine and grief in the past. from the ashes, a new society rose up and started a new colony. a "perfect" colony, where simplemindedness and unthinking is not tolerated in any way. but sixteen year old and extremely intelligent lila haywood would disagree. ever since she was younger, she would question the ways of the society. so when she takes the elimination test and scores among the lowest, she and newfound friends sean, adian, and blair decide to take action, start a new life away from the society. maybe even expose their fraudulent ways once and for all. but the society is angered at their so-called misdeeds and begins to search for them extensively. can lila and the group achieve their goal and live in bliss? or are they doomed to the confinement of the society's evil clutches forever?
