their partners and their jobs. No one thinks to ask questions. Everyone obeys. Then community is
a precisely choreographed world without conflict, inequality, divorce, unemployment, injustice.. or

eagerly accept their predetermined Life Assignments. But Jonas is chosen for something
special. He begins instruction in his life's work with a mysterious old man known only as The

- when he must try to save someone he loves - he may not be ready. Is it too soon? Or too late?
