After The Darkness

It is the year 2070. Things have changed dramatically and rapidly over the past fifty years. The cause of overpopulation has led to other problems such as poverty, inflation, strikes, market crashes, epidemics, and even deaths. Supplies and resources are running out and can barely support everyone in the country. Because of this, the Sapphires, as the governmental body, has classified everyone in the country into four different rankings: the Highers, the Middles, the Lessers, and the Nothings; all according to their economic backgrounds.

Last summer of 2065, eleven year old Margot Wales received a letter from the Sapphires about a governmental plan that involved training potential teenagers to face the world's challenges through simulations and experiments. She doesn't know what the problem is, why it's happening, and how it is to be solved. Five years later, she finds herself as a "Variable" being used by the government.

Margot starts to notice a hoax in the government's plan. Will she be able to find a way out – if there really is?
