Irrevocable

In what used to be known as Columbus, Ohio, the afterwar is only the beginning.

Briella Tenner was taken as a prisoner at the age of seventeen, marking her as the first teenager to be living in Othens-- a remake of Berlin in 2073. It isn't long before she starts to realize that life isn't as transparent as it seems. People living in the walls are always given what they need, never having to work. However, because of this, none of them realize that they are slaves. Upon arrival to Othens, the people are infused with a drug that conforms their mind and being into what the government has sanctioned as "normal". They begin to lose their memories in the form of flashes-- painful involuntary daydreams that cause the person to convulse, as a sharp pain circulates throughout the entire body until the memory is gone forever.

Suddenly, after six weeks of living in Othens, a new teenager Käse Samuals, is brought into the walls as a fugitive. Because of Käse, Briella is no longer the only teen locked in their luxurious prison. And as each day goes by, the two realize that they are the only ones with even a grasp of reality, and that without each other, there is no way they will escape this prison and the conformity that is being forced upon them by the new government-- let alone will they even survive.

When they plan for an escape to freedom, will it be enough for them to really be free? Or will their freedom be holographic just like the rest of society?
