Brief synopsis (no spoilers):
Individuals who are eligible to be married are Matched to their optimal partner when they turn 17, at a special event. Some individuals are never Matched, for various reasons. But something goes wrong for Cassia- she is given information about two separate young men that could be her Match. And that one deviation from the normal situation causes Cassia to doubt the whole system.
