The Republic has these things called trials where they test ten-year-old boys and girls to see where the fit into society, if you pass 1300/1500 or higher you live, if you fail then you die. June Iparis is one of the two main character perspectives your read from, She is a fifteen-year-old prodigy, who scored a perfect 1500, and Day the last main characters perspective you read from, he is fifteen-years-old, and one of the most wanted criminals you could think of, he's set military bases a blaze, robbed banks, but he did it for a good cause, to save his brother from a government controlled plague as for his trial scores he failed, or so he thinks he got a perfect 1500 but is still in denial about it.
