Humanity lost?Would you trade your emotions against an eternal life?In a society ruled by a new generation of people who are more machine than human, where emotions are considered a weakness, 17-year-old Mia and her two-year younger brother Ben are left on their own after the death of their parents. While Mia takes a job to support them, Ben stays in school. On a day that begins like any other, there is talk of an attack. The target: Ben’s school. By the time Mia arrives, Ben has already been taken to an undisclosed location and Mia is not given any information about it. A stranger offers to help and, in her desperation, Mia accepts. He introduces her to a group of drop-outs, where Mia meets the witty and rebellious siblings Vi and Phil, who become allies in her search for her brother. Meanwhile Ben and his classmates are taken to a military base to be trained as soldiers. To fight who? Their own kind. With a system of punishment and reward, the students are manipulated to obey orders and even report on their friends.
