Divergent is about a 16 year old girl named Beatrice Prior who lives in a dystopian Chicago where every 16 year old goes into different factions. She must take an aptitude test in order to find out which faction she has the most potential for. Once she finishes, her results are inconclusive, making her divergent, or separated from most people. Once the teenagers choose their factions, they must go through a series of challenges to prove themselves worthy of the faction they chose. Beatrice chose the faction of Dauntless (bravery), and came from Abnegation(selflessness).
Later on, she must try hard to survive, because if people were to find out she was divergent, that could mean death for her. The Dauntless leaders inject every member of Dauntless with serums to control them, but since Beatrice and her boyfriend Tobias are divergent, they are resistant to the serums. The leaders then send them to Abnegation while under the control of Jeanine Matthews, the main antagonist. Eventually Jeanine Matthews escapes and the rest of the story is continued in Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent.
