When a mysterious disease strikes America, at first called Everhart's disease after the first kid to die of it, but then called IAAN (Idiopathic Adolescent Acute Neurodegeneration) 98% of America's children die of it. But the 2 percent who survive, those are the ones that the government are afraid of. ..

Each survivor is given a special ability, like so:

Greens---People who are super smart and are great with technology.

Blues---People who can move things with their minds

Yellows---People who can control and create electricity

Oranges---People who can control other's minds

Reds---People who can control fire.

President Gray locks these kids away in rehabilitation camps, the first one called "Thurmond". The first round of kids sent there are tested on, and the scientists try but fail to decipher a cure from them. Ruby Daly is in the second round sent to Thurmond. She accidentally erased her parents' memories of her, and when her parents report an unknown child in their house she is taken by the PSFs. She realizes she is an Orange, and uses her abilities to make the PSFs think she is a Green, where she is taken into Thurmond. The Children's League bursts her out, but Ruby knows that they intend to use her as a weapon, and escapes from them. From there she joins up with some other kids: Liam Stewart, Chubs (Charles Meriweather), and Suzume Kimura.
