In what was once the City of Los Angeles the people now live in the City of Color. Everyone is sectioned to their own color given to them when they turn 16. Is it a genetic evolution or is it government controlled? Do people ever end up with more than one color?

What happens when Artemis turns 16 is she going to follow in dear old mum's footsteps, or will she be thrust into the life shes always dreamed of, a life not meant for the daughter of a rich and proud family, a life meant for the shunned.
