Ariana is totally against this forced dating and marriage she wants to enjoy being a part of her Military career not worrying about boys, marriage etcetera. Also, she is having weird dreams about a boy named Zane and she does not know who is he but suspects she knew him back on Earth. She soon starts getting close to a boy named Cal then they turn out to be on each other's list for The Calling, but the government and President Calavero interferes and Cal's father saying that since they were hanging out together before the results came out they rig it somehow. So they make a new rule where one suitor from each person list is changed. The general public is furious with this because they enjoyed Ariana's and Cal's budding romance and had them at the top of the list. So in the end in a political move, they are put back on each other's list.
While all this is going on the man Ariana been dreaming about Zane is on Earth with a group of Rebels who are working against the Novo Government and trying to get Ariana and her family out when her father a high up Commander gets murder on a space mission.
