As per the law in England, every year all teenagers over the age of sixteen report to the Training Centre at the heart of the city, where their entire futures will be decided by two years of tests. Tests that will discover their strengths, and weaknesses, the tenacity of their character, and their willingness to succeed. Score well in the examinations and you'll earn yourself a good life, however should you fail... Erin Kingsleigh is about to find out exactly what the consequences are. Troubled by the new classes she's thrown into, and struggling to keep her head above the water, she doesn't realise her brother's the one in trouble until it's too late. With the support of her friends and reluctant second year Colton, Erin delves into a world of lies deep enough to drown everyone in the desperate hope of saving the person she cares about most.
