The main problem in this book is that Shay runs away from her operation and into the smoke society, leaving her best friend Tally behind.

The three main characters in this book are Tally Youngblood, a 15 year old “ugly” just waiting to go across the river Shay, who is also an “ugly,” and who met Tally when they were trying to sneak across the river before having their operations and David, also an “ugly,” who lives in the smoke.

There is a downside though everybody is born really ugly with features such as small eyes and high foreheads. During this period, there are many high-tech inventions like hoverboards and holes in the wall that will give you anything you want. This story takes place in a high-tech city on the continent of North America.
