Like Yesterday (first draft)

It's the year 2104. America has been split up by the Rocky mountains. West of the mountains is Conza. A place where your future is chosen for you once you turn seventeen. James just turned sixteen. With there being no school in his town anymore, he has plenty of time to plan an escape to freedom that his dad had talked about before his death. James's goal is to make it to the other side of the mountains with his friends and start a life there. But soon people find out about his plan and it becomes more and more important that he leaves.
