Heightened

Set in the year 3000, a new society of advanced humankind has risen thanks to the invention of an injection known as imperium. When a child is born, they are injected with this imperium serum. As they age, their natural abilities are heightened. Someone who once would have just been fast can now run at speeds imperceptible to the human eye. A person who once could simply tame animals extremely well now has the ability to communicate with them. At the age of sixteen, people are tested to determine their natural abilities, and are then sent to a school according to those abilities. After many long, brutal years training in what one is naturally adept to, special abilities begin to grow. Once training is complete, each person is assigned a job based upon their talent. Those who do not develop any talent are outcasts of society; they perform the jobs nobody wants, such as garbage men and maids. A few years back, a new serum was developed that can give any person any power they desire immediately, despite their natural abilities. This is available only to the children of the most elite, richest members of society. The outcasts are outraged; protests begin popping up everywhere. Even those with special abilities are angered; they did, after all, work for years and years to reach where they are now. Will this be the start of an uprising?
