Waking up with fragmented memories, Will Herndon discovers he's no longer in the time or place he considers home. The 19-year-old has been named an Exemplar - the best example of his family's bloodline. Now, grappling with the impacts of climate change and guided by his enigmatic grandfather and a jittery counselor, Will must navigate a formidable competition to ensure his family's future, while also dealing with a traumatic past that could derail his path to success.
