The world has been taken out by an unspeakable incident, except for two small districts nestled inside a canyon that live exclusively from the rest of the world. One might consider them blessed for surviving, but the people of the Poor District are thankful for nothing. Instead, they seek solitude and act cruelly to one another. It seems that Allison Frey and her best friend, Maverick, are the only two who are able to see the good left in the world. Yet, Ally is the only person who is remotely interested in their past. She wants nothing more than the opportunity to learn and to change her district's situation. As an eerie answer to her deepest wish, a powerful man from the Rich District sets his sights on her while traveling through town, and he collects her to live with him in his mansion. Of course, Ally cannot turn down such an amazing shot at what she's always wanted; especially considering the man is mysteriously handsome. Leaving behind everyone she loves, she enters into a new life that is better than her old one in extremely unfair ways. The rich people don't have to fend off beast attacks and live as if they know nothing of the Poor Districts struggles. As Ally adjusts to this district and a man who isn't at all whom she'd thought, she finds that the knowledge she acquires is the real danger.
