The story starts out intriguing with the population of children in the world drastically decreasing due to some unknown illness killing most of them. The children who somehow survive develop powers, which is worrisome for the government. These kids are put in camps to keep track of them. The kids are separated by the type of power they have and they are color coded. The main character is an orange, which is one of the more dangerous powers, mind control. She touched her parents while they slept and accidentally erased their memory of her. She has to fake being a lower risk color as reds and oranges are killed. She eventually breaks out of the camp and finds other kids to bond with and together they try to find a safe place.
