Safe Land enforcers raid Levi's village and take everyone captive, including his fiancee, Jem.

 But when Levi attempts a rescue he is caught trying to get past the Highland gates, and must become a Safe Land national to keep his remaining loved ones alive.

But when he is assigned a position, he encounters his brother, Omar---and realizes Omar is the one who betrayed the village.

Levi soon also discovers that the women are being held for surrogacy, forced to reproduce using a technology that does not require consummation. It seems only people from the outside can repopulate the Safe Land without spreading the disease that decimated the population several generations before. Together with his older brother, Mason, Levi organizes a group called the Messengers, intent on helping people escape and find freedom once more outside the Safe Land's walls. As the three brothers and Jem try to hold to their values amidst the subjugation and lies of the government, they discover the Safe Land may not be the Utopia people believe it to be ... and the future of their friends and the world as a whole may be once again threatened by the Thin Plague.
