Every 16 to 18 year old in this dystopian city will take part in the testing. No one knows what will happen after they get their results, or why it happens in the first place. But none of that changes the fact that Amelia Davis is scared out of her wits. What will happen after the testing? Will she stay with her family in the Boundary, or be ripped away forever? Will the testing change her life forever? And, if it does, will it be for the better, or for the worse? And, most of all, who is Noah Jenkins?
At age 16 everyone is forced to take a test. The test decides your future. Pass the test, you live a free life. Fail, you now join the military front lines to fight for your country that pays no mind to the well being of its people.
