The protagonist, Beatrice "Tris" Prior, discovers her test results are inconclusive—she shows traits of multiple factions, making her "Divergent" . Warned that Divergents are considered dangerous threats to the social order and are often hunted, she keeps her status a secret and chooses to leave her family in Abnegation to join the Dauntless.

The story is set in a post-apocalyptic Chicago where society is divided into five factions based on human virtues: (the selfless) Amity (the peaceful) Candor (the honest) Dauntless (the brave) Erudite (the intelligent)

During her brutal initiation, she meets a mysterious instructor named (Theo James). Together, they discover a conspiracy led by the Erudite faction leader, Jeanine Matthews, who plans to use a mind-control serum to turn the Dauntless into a puppet army to overthrow the government. Tris and Four must use their unique abilities to stop the genocide of the Abnegation faction and protect those they love. Production Details
