Isolated for years, Australia has become a dystopia where one's opinion of cilantro determines the course of their life.
The citizens of Australia name themselves once they've tasted cilantro and decided if it tastes good, or like soap. But one young woman breaks tradition and proclaims the herb good, but soap-like. Her impulsive honest answer sets in motion a chain of events that causes her and others to question the division between cilantro lovers and haters, Australia's isolation, and even the rebel groups that try ceaselessly to free the citizens of Cilantro.

Imagine living in a world where everything you do is controlled. In the distant future the United States has been split into two regions separated by a barren wasteland; this is the country of Dystopia. Here the individual is discouraged, freedom is an illusion, food is rationed, and everything you do is tracked by a chip implanted in your arm. This is Dana Ginary's world. At age seventeen, people receive their career assignments chosen for them by a government body. Forced to work at the Waste Management Plant because she was declared too individualistic, Dana finds herself surrounded by death and brutality. Knowing her days are numbered, she looks for a way to leave the plant before she, too, becomes one of its causalities. It is then she meets a man named George and soon finds herself caught up in a cat and mouse game between the resistance and the Dystopian government. Dana finds herself faced with an agonizing choice of whom she will betray and whom she will save: her friend George, her parents, or herself.
