In a false utopia, the Earth's population is divided into five Units after a disturbing decimation forced the human race to be on the verge of extinction. The increase in man's population competes with the upgrade in advanced technology. With past secrets hidden from the eyes of civilians, they are oblivious to what goes on around them. 

Like every other individual in his Unit, 19-year-old Livingstone is determined to stay true to his dreams and have them fulfilled. Crestfallen by the sudden disappearance of his mother, his unbending character remains firm. 

His growing suspicions toward the Heads of Earth's administration: The Council - is justified when he finds himself entangled in their twisted agenda, which seeks to wipe a quarter of Earth's growing population. Bent on exposing the deed of the opposition, he takes actions which might determine who lives, and who dies.

Ambiguous threats kept stumbling across Livingstone’s way --- precisely two days after he’d received the first one. He spotted the second threat-filled message in an envelope hidden underneath the recent adjusted flower vase close to his doorstep, and found the third message strapped within his journal.

He knew he was running out of time, yet he did not allow that to deter him from going through with his plan. In as much as he felt reluctant to share what was going on with others from the beginning, he was glad he thought otherwise and relayed what was going with his newfound friends --- even if it meant that their lives might be endangered if things suddenly went wrong.
