IN THIS WORLD, PERFECTION IS EVERYTHING.
It begins as a way to make things fairer. An education system that will benefit everyone. It’s all in the name of progress.
This is what Elena Fairchild believes. As a teacher in one of the government’s elite schools for children with high ‘Q’ scores, she witnesses the advantages first-hand.
But when Elena’s own daughter scores lower than expected, she is taken away. Elena follows her to her new home. A government institute.
What she finds there makes Elena question everything. Because this world is about perfection – and that comes at a terrible price.
