The book begins with Tris in a prison within a prison. She feels that she is finally ready to get outside of the fence-surrounded city. She eventually tells a few lies to get out of jail and when she gets out she is approached by Allegient, a group that want to break out of the city. Tobias as well as his sister Caleb join Tris in Allegiant. They all escape by taking a train to a few buses on the edge of the city. A few members are killed along the way by Dauntless patrol officers, but no one important to the storyline. They get outside of the city and realize it is a lot like where they came from. They later discover that the city they lived in used to be called "Chicago". On the outside of Chicago, Tris is given an old photo of her mother and a guy, David. They meet up and he explains how Chicago is a social experiment to correct damage caused by previous govenment experiments that had intentions to get rid of unwanted characteristics. This was quite the thing to discover straight out of their old city. At one point on the way out of Chicago, Tris claims "We don't know what's happened out there... We could be the last people left." (Roth 7). This shows what the society in Chicago has done to members of the social experiment. They have absolutely what is going on in the real world and will greatly struggle to break into it when they get there. This, however, will just make the story more interesting because readers will be able to see how members of Chicago react. Can't wait to finish it!
