SYNOPSIS: 

In dystopian America, almost every child in the country is extinct, save for those who have special, superhero-like abilities. Considered a threat to the society, they are sent to an internment camp where they are forced into labor. Each child is separated into different departments, which can be identified by the color of their eyes. For quite some time, people in the camp believe that Ruby Daly (Amandla Stenberg) is a Green, or in other words the most harmless amongst the super-powered kids, when she is actually an Orange in disguise, or in other words the most powerful and volatile of them all. Such revelation brings her closer to danger with the evil guys in the camp while also closer to comfort to a group of teen runaways (Harris Dickinson, Skylan Brooks & Miya Cech) she befriended.
