Tally has been transformed into a pretty.  She really wants to become a part of the “Crims” clique.  Croy, a Smokie, finds her at a Pretty Party and leaves clues to her past life in The Smoke.  Zane, the leader of the “Crims” clique, joins Tally in a search for her past.  Zane and Tally split the cure and each take one pill to cure the pretty brain lesions.  The pills cure them of their brain lesions, however, they are affected differently.  Zane has crippling headaches, while Tally seems to be fine.  The Specials are suspicious of Tally and Zane and fit them with tracking cuffs, to spy on them.  As leaders of the “Crim” clique, they encourage the clique to consume caffeine and expose themselves to adrenalin rushes to combat the brain lesions.  Tally’s friend, Shay remembers Tally’s betrayal in the Smoke and is no longer Tally’s friend.  Shay leads a group of “Crims” and shows them how to cure their brain lesions, by cutting themselves with knives.  They are “Cutters”.
  

Question: Would you be willing to go through all this to make yourself fit in?
