The Generator, a secured environment housing the few remaining citizens of the United States, has been successfully operating for nearly 40 years. It is the lifesaving answer that ended war, social injustice, and intolerance for the people of the United States of America. Order and equality are guaranteed by the system's precisely crafted rules and regulations from birth to citizenship. All matters of the Generator are geared toward the success of the community; assigned Residence Wings, regulated Work Rotations, and strictly monitored relationships among the citizens. Through her rigid formation from a young age to citizenship, Charlotte, a 22-ranking citizen from the West Wing and Red Rotation believes in the purpose and functionality of the Generator. But her world comes to a rapid halt when she is approached by Grace, a woman born before the creation of the Generator. Grace whispers one simple word to Charlotte, "mindless." This one word breaks through Charlotte's fragile trust in the system and resurges an inquisitive nature that she formerly suppressed. A flood of questions, a quest for needed answers, and a pursuit in understanding Grace's ever-present knowledge, Charlotte ignites a newly discovered hope for the fate of the citizens of the Generator.
