What happens in Divergent from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In a post-apocalyptic Chicago, society has divided itself into five distinct factions, each formed around different virtues: Abnegation, the selfless, devoted to humanitarian work; Amity, the peaceful, nurturing farmers; Candor, the honest, who pursue truth and justice; Dauntless, the brave soldiers and protectors; and Erudite, the intelligent, keen on knowledge and science. Every year, when teenagers reach the age of sixteen, they undergo an aptitude test to determine their ideal faction. Based on the results, they face a critical choice: remain with their family’s faction or defect to another. However, those who are unable or unwilling to complete the initiation process become “Factionless,” relegated to live in dire poverty on the streets of the city.
