Here is a short review of "The Darkest Minds" movie plot summary.
In a dystopian future, a contagious disease called Idiopathic Adolescent Acute Neurodegeneration kills nearly 98% of all children and teenagers, leaving the survivors with unusual abilities. These survivors with superpowers are imprisoned worldwide. Ruby Daly (Amandla Stenberg) is an Orange which means she has the psionic ability to get into people's mind. She escapes her prison and joins a resistance group (League) to fight for her future. Cate (Mandy Moore), a worker at the camp, provides Ruby with a panic button that can be activated as a tracker if she is in danger. When Ruby gets visions while touching Rob (Mark O'Brien), another League member, she becomes suspicious of their intentions. Ruby makes her escape with a mute little girl named Suzume (Zu), a Yellow. Zu (Miya Cech) takes Ruby to Liam (Harris Dickinson), a Blue, and his friend Charles (Chubs), another Blue (Green in the movie). The three agree to let Ruby join them as they try to make their way to "East River," a purported safe haven led by an Orange named Slip Kid (David Shepherd).
The four enter an abandoned mall to gather supplies, where they cross paths with another group of survivors. The others know where East River is, but the only clue they revealdue to the subtle influence of Ruby's powerare the letters "E.D.O." Ruby eventually deduces that this is a radio frequency, which reveals a transmission that East River is in Lake Prince, Virginia.
Journeying to East River, Ruby and Liam begin to develop a romantic connection, but Ruby refuses to touch him, fearing that her powers will hurt him. At East River, Slip Kid is revealed to be the president's son, Clancy Gray (Patrick Gibson), who is an Orange.
