✦ Synopsis

What if your genes alone determined your value in society?

After a devastating global war, the Foreign Powers split North America, leaving two countries with no weapons, no resources, and no hope. One side, called Prosperon, devised a solution: allocating resources only to the ones with the highest genetic potential. The Stars and the Fivers—the smartest and the most able—get the most resources. The Squares and the Equis get the leftovers. The Zeroes get nothing. Prosperon keeps Zeroes alive for only one reason: to serve as subjects for inhuman scientific experiments.

Meke Lichota is a Zero, all because she was born without the ability to hear. When she wakes up one day with unexplainable side effects, Meke finds herself entangled in a war between mysterious revolutionaries and the government. The revolutionaries offer her a chance at a new life, but it is up to Meke to fight for a future that she believes in.
