In a world divided by factions based on virtues, Tris learns she's Divergent and won't fit in. When she discovers a plot to destroy Divergents, Tris and the mysterious Four must find out what makes Divergents dangerous before it's too late.
Today I take the test. I'm scared it'll tell me I'm not Abnegation. That i have to leave my family. But I'm even more scared that it will tell me to stay.
— What was my result?
— Abnegation. And Erudiete. And Dauntless. Your results were inconclusive.
— That's impossible. It doesn't make any sense.
— No. Not impossible. It's just extremely rare. They call it "Divergent".
— So what am I supposed to do at the choosing ceremony? I was supposed to learn what to do. This was supposed to tell me what faction to choose, the test. We're supposed to trust the test!
— The test didn't work on you. You have to trust yourself.
— Are you nervous?
— No. Were you? For your test?
— No. I was terrified.
