But it soon becomes clear that the adults who want to help her can't be trusted. Years later, as a 16-year-old, she decides she's had enough of the camps and she decides to plot her escape from the camps and join a movement to help free other Psi kids. Ruby was forced into one of these camps at the age of 10 after she accidentally erased her parents' memory of her.
