Maidie is a normal teen girl, living in a society of false, obessive, perfect people who are practically robots. Being imperfect had consequences, them being, lifetime imprisonment,death or Empirical Island.
When Maidie chooses the Island, she is forced to acknowledge how much she truly values her life when it becomes a battle of the survival of the fittest.
