The year is 3152 and Mia and her mother have plans for the world. They are taking all of the people and making them perfect. Making them 'synthetics' as the Rebellion calls them. All she and her mother wish for is a perfect world, and their first step? Perfect people. People come in and have their bodies redone, then they have chips inserted at the base of their neck that allows Mia and her mother to easily control them. When members of the Rebellion are found they are sedated on the spot and brought back to be made perfect. Now the leader of the Rebellion has bombed their main factory for chip development. So Mia decides to go undercover posing as one of the Rebellion after helping two of their highest raking members escape from the factory before their bodies were even touched. She conviences them to take her to the leader, who she plans to kill. And here is the twist, the leader of the Rebellion is her father. Along the way will she change her mind and stop what she and her mother are doing, or will she stick to her plan and kill him?

The government every year tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of four Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking militia commandos and government jobs, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the government has to offer: The Law. To ensure that they would be able to keep ruling the world, The Law started implanting chips into all its citizens. These chips called DEC, as Contained electrical current, it's an electronic chip that looks like a silver dot, these chips allowing The Law and any actual law enforcement to be able to track everyone. And it would help to keep everyone in line and stomp out any pesky notions before they manifested into something bigger, something dangerous. Shirley is known in the Facility as Ten, alongside six others, they have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the Law. When a group calls themselves the codas breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. In the year 2050, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world a better place. Order and lies, or truth and freedom? Whatever she chooses, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. Shirley should decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Shirley choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she make out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction?
