Ingrid Hoffman is from the Marleyan interment zone and she feels like there's something more out there. The Eldians that reside in the zone feel they are doing good by having their teenage children become honorary Marleyans. Ingrid doesn't want any part of that. At the age of ten, she takes the next ship out of Marley and ventures out on her own to Paradis Island. There, she meets a group of kids who are just like her. Because Ingrid has been away from Marley for so long, she doesn't realize the destructive plan that's about to take place.
