The Council enforces an apartheid-like regime, reserving scarce resources for Alphas and branding Omegas as outcasts. Cass, an Omega with psychic foresight, faces persecution when she envisions a world where Alphas and Omegas live together as equals. Her twin Zach rises in the Alpha Council, while resistance movements and the ruling Council both aim to suppress her revolutionary dream.
