It's December 5, 3177 and all across the country young adults are adorned in dresses and suits filled with anticipation of what could be their first or last ball. Over a century ago, a man by the name of Louie Termis came up with the concept to help further the evolution of the human species. He believed that by mating with people of the same or higher IQ, future generations would find themselves to be smarter than those of the past. After years of test and government funding, his theory was adapted into everyday life by the help of Termis Corp, an organization who have made it their mission to help create a better future by ensuring the proper mating of people based off appearance and IQ. Many believe this to be a beneficial part of life that will help future generations to come but for William Clarkson II, it's a death sentence. December has come and William's time is running out; this is his last ball and if he doesn't get chosen well, he'd rather not think about it. He has one chance to gain the attention of Emilia Thurgood, daughter of Edward Thurgood a well known and established scientist or his time is up and but the odds stacked against him, could this be the end?

The future is predetermined. It can't be changed. But who casts the future in stone? It's you, me, and every one of us. The iron grip of our fate doesn't come from gods or physics but from us. You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?
