Humans came so close to destroying the earth, obliterating everything. By some miracle, they managed to stop it from happening. Now the humans that are left are struggling to to thrive in the world they have wrecked, split apart into two groups: the citydwellers, locked away in the wall-surrounded cities, and are usually the rich, and the other group, the outwallers, they people who don’t live in cities, and instead live in the nearly unsurvivable outside of them.
It’s been decades since the system was developed. The citydwellers ruled over the outwallers, demanding things from them. And as the outwallers became more frustrated with the citydwellers bossing them around, the citydwellers came up with something. Pick five outwallers a year, ages 15-17, to marry five citydwellers of the same age range! It was perfect!
So, you’ve been paired up with people. But will you fall in love with them?
