In the Republic city of Los Angeles, 15-year-old Day failed the Trial when he was 10 but narrowly escaped his fate and lives on the streets with his 13-year-old companion, Tess. High-scoring children are rewarded with luxurious lifestyles, while those who score low or fail face a dark fate in the labor camps or on the streets. During the Trial, a child’s reading, writing, speaking, and physical capabilities are tested, and they are assigned a score that determines their future. In the Republic, children are required to take a test known as the Trial on their 10th birthday.
In the future, America has split into two halves: The Republic rules the Western half, and the Colonies rule the east.
