Two cities, torn apart by war for years until the leaders of the two cities agree that each city will be separated by a huge invisible and impenetrable dome over the top of the cities. One city is advanced in tech and the other is more advanced in weaponry/fighting.
16 years later, the cites are still separated and new laws have been enforced on top of the original laws of the country (Normal laws-No murder, no thieving, etc). No questioning the authority, no curiosity/questions about the people who get taken away, you have to go to every 'meeting' for the city every week and finally, you are not allowed to cross the dome...
But, what happens when a group of 12-16-year-olds from each city find a way to communicate with each other to find a way out of the city. They will have to go up against authority, question their whole lives, break other laws and...Try to escape the dome that encases them...How far will they go to be free?
