Description
In the year 2015, literacy rates reach an all-time low in the United States as a result of budget cuts and failed government intervention in the education system; Schools are worse off than prisons and society has reached its breaking point. The American people demand change. In an effort to raise literacy, allowing competition on a world scale and preventing a completely welfare society, the government enlists the help of top psychologist, Kristopher Macklemore. With his influence, the program and its six schools are born, forcing youths ages 12-22 into a world of pain, rules, and sterilization of their previous habits. Torn from their families, they are forced to live, learn, and survive alongside each other. Fast-forward to 2036. The program has been going strong for twenty years, but that hasn't prevented the rise of dissident opinions. So the world remains divided. Europe is the only continent that operates independent of the new system and, for Vanessa and Abraham Graham, it has been a safe haven. A teacher at one of the six original schools, Abraham knows things--dangerous things about what really goes on in the program--that the government keeps secret. So, when Vanessa discovered she was pregnant, the two planned an escape. Miles away from everything they know, the Grahams safely make a life for themselves and their children. Meanwhile, Dr. Macklemore hasn't forgotten the couple that got away. With the stability of Europe in question, he is closer to finding them now more than ever. And when he does, there will be hell to pay. In the future, we're all perfect... and we don't get a choice. © 2013 Miranda JK
