When we leave Cassia, her parents have sent her on a work detail in a Western Province, purportedly because she was showing "signs of rebellion" Reality check: they're helping her out by giving her a chance to find Ky. Can we talk about how awesome Cassia's parents are? How many parents would work the system so their kid could run off in search of their seventeen-year-old crush? Answer: Few to none. To Cassia, however, this is more than a teenage crush—she's confessed the L-word.
Not to Ky, whom she hasn't found yet, but to the dirt she's digging in and napkins she's cleaning with. Hey—everyone's got to start somewhere. Before he is set to die, her grandfather speaks to each member of the family separately. Cassia, her parents, and her little brother Bram each give him a present for his Final Banquet and, when it is her turn, Cassia's grandfather reveals that her compact, an artifact from her grandmother, contains a forbidden scrap of paper that holds two old poems by Dylan Thomas and Lord Alfred Tennyson.
While hiking up the hill, Cassia takes the opportunity to read the poetry and to spend some time with Ky. While she ends up destroying the paper in order to avoid getting in trouble, she keeps getting closer to Ky, especially when he starts to teach her how to write. Cassia's feelings for him grow when he starts sharing bits of his past in the Outer Provinces with her. At one point, he even reveals that he carries an artifact, an old compass from his parents.
When Officials come to collect all artifacts, Xander offers to hide Cassia's compact, but she chooses to save Ky's instead and this brings them closer together. Along with Cassia, her parents end up getting in trouble with the Officials as well. Her father "loses" the sample of her grandfather's DNA, which is an infraction, but it turns out he threw it out on purpose due to a request from his father.
Her mother, on the other hand, works for the ecological team and gets sent to the Outer Provinces to examine fields that people have been growing illegally. It turns out that growing plants that are edible are signs of a rebellion about to start, and, while Cassia's mother realized this, she did not want to report it.
In order to protect her family, she ends up reporting the truth. Throughout the summer, Cassia and Ky grow closer together and even end up admitting that they love each other. One day, Ky brings Cassia a poem and reveals that there are many illegal documents like the poem that one can get from the Museum. Before graduating, everyone must get assigned a position in society. Cassia is a top sorter for her age group and officials choose to test her by making her sort the food disposal workers which is the group Ky works in.
Although he tries hard to not be noticed by keeping his scores in school and his work average, Cassia chooses to put him in the group with the more efficient workers. She does this because an official tells her that the less efficient ones are given less food and their life expectancies are usually lower.
Later, Cassia decides to reveal the truth to Xander about Ky, but he becomes upset and walks away from her. Not soon after, Ky is taken away by Officials because he and the other better workers are being sent to the Outer Provinces to fight.
When Ky is taken, the Markhams cause a ruckus which bring the rest of their neighbors out of their home. Cassia tries to give her last goodbyes and is able to slip the scrap of her Banquet dress into his hands before he boards the train.
In return, he gives her a final note that she decides to read later. When the Markhams reveal the truth to their neighbors, the Officials quickly gag and arrest them and take them away. An Official then tells the crowd to take their red tablets after giving their compacts to the officials.
