Gardena, California. 2265. One hundred and seventeen years ago, Gardena, along with several other cities, is put on a "temporary" lockdown due to a rebellion that left thousands dead and even more missing. That's what's written in the history books, at least. No one is completely sure what happened. The mass majority of the city chose to go along with it, but occasionally, a few people go looking for answers. Those answers are seldom found, and the punishments for seeking out such answers tend to be severe. The people of Gardena try go about their days with as much normalcy as possible, but that's hard when there's military stationed at almost every corner. Violet is only eighteen years old already singlehandedly leading a gang. Renae, her ex-best friend prefers to play things safe. And Harley, whose sudden appearance in the city has raised questions from a few, is overly inquisitive and passionate about everything she does. Drawn and bound together by the inexplicable need for liberation, these three girls unintentionally push the boundaries when they come across a breach in system; allowing them to temporarily withdraw from the constant chaos that surrounds their adolescent lives. But when lies and a sudden betrayal begin to challenge what they thought they stood for, the three girls begin to lose sight of themselves, and they each are left wondering if the fate that brought them together plans on pulling them apart just as fast.
