Sixteen-year-old Paige Brooks lives in an economically-segregated society in the future where one can determine what economic class they belong to by the color of their eyes. When a person is born, their eyes are genetically mutated to represent the color of their class. Paige is part of the Economy, the middle class, and, having gray eyes, belongs to the poorest sub-division of her class. Being Economy is tough, and her dream is not only to get out of her gray eyes, but to help others get out of the poverty pit as well. Everything seems normal. But when a strong hereditary gene is suddenly turned on inside of her, Paige is mistook for being upper class and finds herself pulled into the luxurious lifestyle of the Capital.
