Sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior is born into an Abnegation family. Her aptitude is inconclusively indicating aptitude for three factions: Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. The test proctor warns her never to share this information, as it makes her a 'Divergent.' On Choosing Day, Beatrice decides to leave Abnegation and join Dauntless; her brother, Caleb, chooses Erudite.
The Dauntless instructor, Four, explains that only the top ten will stay; the rest will be dismissed and become factionless. During her initiation, Beatrice renames herself Tris. Initiation into Dauntless is in three stages.
The first involves learning how to handle guns and knives. Despite being physically weaker than most of her fellow initiates, she finishedin sixth place. Stage two involves simulations, which force the initiates to face scenarios symbolic of their fears. Because Tris is Divergent, she recognizes that she is under a simulation while others do not, thus achieving the top ranking in the test. Four discovered about it.
The final stage of Dauntless initiation is a fear landscape, all of them, will be aware that they are under a simulation and must use the skills they learned in the previous stages to overcome each fear. Four later shares with Tris information he has discovered about the Erudite's plans to use the Dauntless to stage an attack on the Abnegation.
Tris successfully overcomes the test. After her test, Tris, along with all other Dauntless members, is injected with a new "tracking" serum that is supposedly only activated if someone goes missing. In the midst of celebrating, though, she suddenly realizes that the Erudite will use the "tracking" serum to force Dauntless members to carry out their plans of invading the Abnegation.
The serum does not work on Tris or Four because they are both Divergent. After arriving at the Abnegation compound, Tris and Four try to escape but they are captured and brought before Jeanine. She injects Four with an experimental serum, which counteracts the Divergent effect by controlling what he can see and hear. As they escape, her mother reveals that she is also Divergent, but while helping Tris escape, she is killed.
Four helps Tris shut down the Erudite simulation and free the remaining Dauntless from their mind control. They rejoin Caleb and Marcus, as well as Peter, who had helped Tris find the control room in exchange for his safety. The group then boards a train to the Amity sector to find the rest of the Abnegation survivors.
I am looking forward to Insurgent :) You should watch the movie. A lot of imagination and adventure.
