[close] Earth, year 2023 World War three just ended the previous year and the world is in Shambles. The crime rate is off the charts and criminals are such a problem that a mega prison is created to house ALL criminals. California's three strike law has been taken into effect world wide and is strictly enforced. The prison is on a artificial island about the size of a small country. There are five-mile-high walls built around the exterior of the island so no one can get out. There are no guards, no wardens, and nothing else keeping you in besides the wall, and automated turrets at the top shooting anyone within a hundred feet. What they call a trial is just a formality, most of the time it's not a public trial and almost all of the trials are rigged. You can bitch and whine all you want ,but that just means you lose what dignity you had before you are cuffed, scuffed up, and dumped into the island like trash.

In the small town of Moorville, Arizona, population 2,000, everyone knows everything about everyone. Over 1/4 of the population is made up of teenagers. Some like it that way, others don't. Parents are picky when it comes to marriages due to the eligibility of people your age, so choose wisely...
