The Premise

Tris is on the run. After the factions collapse, and her city, is on the verge of war, in the eyes of the Erudite leader, Tris is to blame. Tris, her boyfriend Tobias, his abusive father who is also the leader of the former abnegation faction, her brother Caleb, and the disreputable initiate, Peter escape from the Erudite headquarters. There, they destroyed the mind-control program that allowed the cruel leader of the faction, Jeanine Matthews, to turn the  Dauntless into her personal army. (Sorry if this is confusing. See my previous post for more background info!) Now, Tris leaves the treacherous heart of the city to a place where the Erudite would never expect to find her. She heads to the Amity headquarters. Tris doesn't stay there long before she is forced to escape. She is taken captive and meets with a nation of people more powerful then she expected. She and Tobias stay briefly before moving to another neutral faction called Candor. In Candor Tris realizes there, that she must face past mistakes and, more importantly, think about the near future. She can't hide for ever, and she feels the enemy closing in. Tris has been told that there might be some secret information that the Erudite faction is hiding, and she needs to save and protect it; she knows it will change everything. Jeanine is desperate to study the mind of a Divergent, the special type of mind that Tris has that makes it so she can't be controlled by Jeanine's mind control. Jeanine wants to capture Tris and Tobias, another Divergent, so that she can figure out how their different minds work. Tris is worried when her friends are put at risk and she has to make a very hard decision. She makes her way back to safety, through all of the dangerous situations. But pressures rise, and Tris knows that she has to try and rescue the information, before everything is destroyed, so she sets a secret plan and her mission is clear: to recover the information at all costs.

!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Tris doesn't want Tobias to find out about her quest, because she needs the help of Marcus, his father whom he despises. She sneaks in with a few other people and realizes that she needs Jeanine alive to get the data off of her private computer.  She tries to stop her allies from killing Jeanine but it's too late. Jeanine dies. Tris is accused as a traitor for trying to stop the murder of Jeanine, and she has no chance to ever recover the top secret information she needs. But Tobias is very good with computers, and he's able to hack the computers and retrieve the information. On the disk, a woman tells of a world outside of the city, of people who don't belong to factions, and asks that when the disk is recovered, the people leave the city and take care of the outside world. Most shockingly of all, the woman on the disk has the last name Prior. Prior is Tris' last name as well.

Yeah the ending is kind of confusing, but I guess the only to figure out what this means is to read the next book. That's definately my plan, at least.
