Years in the future, life as we know it is dictated by our Careers. As populations swelled, a System was created in order to manage our ever-growing populace. The System saw to it that every possible Citizen was given a Career, regardless of race, regardless of circumstance, regardless of background. Life has been peaceful ever since, however, as years passed, the peace has finally begun to falter; as malicious intent grows, the System has been forced to grow with it. Thus came the inception of J.A.C.K.A.L., a group of Careers dedicated to maintaining the peace. Thus, we come to our story, and the wonderful misadventures of J.A.C.K.A.L.'s newest recruit, Benjamin Thornton.

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.

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.

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.Complete
