Cassia non ha mai avuto dubbi: la Società sceglierà sempre il meglio per lei. Cosa leggere, cosa amare, in cosa credere. E quando il volto di Xander appare sullo schermo dell'Abbinamento, il sistema che unisce individui geneticamente compatibili per creare coppie perfette. Cassia ne è certa: è lui il suo Promesso, il ragazzo giusto per lei. La sua gioia, tuttavia, non durerà a lungo perché, a causa di un difetto tecnico, il Sistema le mostrerà iI volto di un'altra persona, proprio prima che lo schermo si oscuri: qualcuno che lei conosce bene, Ky Markham. La Società le comunica che si è trattato di un errore, cosa rara in un mondo in cui le sviste non sono ammesse: ma Cassia non può impedirsi di pensare a Ky, d'incontrare il volto del ragazzo in ogni suo sogno, in ogni suo pensiero. E una domanda, la più pericolosa, inizia a farsi strada: e se non fosse lei a essersi sbagliata? Se fosse la Società ad aver commesso un errore? Sarà la coraggiosa poesia di Dylan Thomas, una delle opere proibite dalla Società e ultimo regalo lasciatole da suo nonno, a spronarla e darle la forza per affrontare un potere assoluto e dittatoriale. Quelle poche e semplici parole: "Non andartene docile in quella buona notte. Infuria, infuria contro il morire della luce", le faranno scoprire cosa voglia dire amare e lottare per la propria libertà e distruggeranno un sistema che sino ad allora si credeva invincibile.
