Alexis is perfect. She has no memory of her past. Kai is flawed. The government is smart, but he is smarter. Elina is oblivious. She has no idea why the government is taking her away from her parents. Talia is confused. There are two sides to every story. In 2023, teenage violence swept through the nation, taking innocent people by surprise. It became such a serious threat; citizens had to stay in their homes for days on end. The government, after many years of discussion, decided that they needed to get those children back on track. That's when they came up with The Academy. It was a strict boarding school that disciplined troubled teens. That seemed to work until the children fought their way out in 2125. More and more people got hurt, and America was losing hope. Then, John Crawford got elected Prime Minister of the United States. He had harsher plans to make sure the children get back on track. John kept the idea of The Academy, but once the teenagers get put in, they'd never get out. He swore that he'd make them better than just disciplined...he'd make them perfect.
