THE EARTH IS AT PEACE. THERE ARE NO WARS. THERE IS NO HUNGER. HONESTY, COURTESY, AND KINDNESS ARE PRACTICED BY ALL.
Twenty years ago, the Souls began to insert themselves into human society, quietly and secretly taking over the world. It happened quickly, and before anyone realized it, the majority of the world was gone. What they thought were humans were just bodies; the Souls literally inserted themselves into their heads and took over. No one could tell the difference until the news began to change. There was no more reports of murders or wars; it seemed as though everything had stopped. Sports were made safer, and people stopped arguing about bad plays, and football and rugby were outlawed for being unsafe. Once it became apparent this wasn't a human world, they began to hide. Some went off by themselves, while others formed groups--whatever made they safe. But that didn't mean they were. The Souls had Seekers out looking for them; they were intent on making the world a completely peaceful place. Something that couldn't happen with the instinctual aggressive humans around. Only thousands are now left, and they're still being hunted. For the greater good.
THE WORLD HAS NEVER BEEN MORE PERFECT.
IT IS NO LONGER YOUR WORLD.
A group of humans hidden away decided they would not allow their world to be destroyed. They'd been living there for thousands of years, and while these Souls might have been around the universe longer, the Earth belonged to humans. Souls are nothing more than parasites. And so, the kidnapping began. Every couple of weeks, they grabbed a random Soul off the street and brought them back to their hideout, demanding for information. Information the Souls wouldn't give them; how to rid the world of their kind. How to "extract" them from their heads. No, of course not--that would be the ultimate betrayal for a Soul. So those humans experimented on them without the benefit of painkillers or anesthetic, desperately trying to find a way to effectively remove the apparently "insect-like" Soul. More often than not, the Soul shred its host's brain before that could begin. It was failure over and over again.
There isn't any room in their shelter to store these dead bodies. Where do they end up? Right back into Soul society; unceremoniously dumped somewhere public--a street, a store, anything. Souls became terrified of the violent humans, fearing they'd be next. The Souls had to do something. And so, a group of Seeker-like Souls were formed. They had one goal: find the soulless murderers and wipe them out. Despite being a peaceful species, the Souls won't stand around and let their brothers and sisters be ruthlessly murdered. The Keepers are more violent than the average Soul, more humanistic than thought possible. Their instincts are heightened, bodies more physically able. Genetically altered. Perfect for finding humans and getting rid of them.
With the help of the Keepers, the Souls might actually have a chance of truly making the world completely peaceful, like the other worlds they have inhabited.
- It's been six years since the humans found out. Six years of having to run and hide from the Souls who have taken over their world.

The original idea, basically everything until the two bolded sentences is present in the book by Stephenie Meyer. Everything else is a plot created by Isabella.
