Thomas wakes up in a metal elevator that brings him to the Glade. He has no memory of who he is or how he got there. He gradually discovers that the Glade is run by two boys: Alby, the leader, and Newt, the second-in-charge, who both maintain order by enforcing simple but effective rules. The elevator box surfaces from under the ground once every week and supplies new food, tools, medicine, and sometimes weapons. Every month, a new boy with no memory of anything but his first name finds himself in that elevator box.

The Glade is surrounded by a square of four-mile-high walls made of concrete. The walls have openings in them, which slide shut like doors every night. Outside the walls is the Maze, a labyrinth of high concrete walls covered in ivy that changes every day. The Maze houses strange, lethal creatures, known as the Grievers. Not much is known about them. The Gladers are trying to stay alive as well as "solve" the Maze by appointing "runners" to run through it as fast as they can while they track movements of the walls and try to find an exit to escape.

One day after Thomas's arrival, a girl, Teresa, is delivered through the elevator into the Glade with a note saying "She's the last one. Ever." That implies that there will be no more children sent into the Glade. The girl later lapses into a long coma. When Thomas comes to visit her, he recognizes her but cannot remember her name until he hears her voice telepathically in his mind that tells him her name. Teresa wakes up and tells Thomas that they knew each other before they were sent into the Glade, which reveals that they could communicate telepathically.

Minho, the keeper of the runners, and Alby go into the Maze to see what they think is their first dead Griever. Alby is stung by the creature, and while Minho is trying to help him out of the Maze, Thomas runs in to help, just as the doors of the maze shut. All three are then stranded in the Maze overnight. Minho, believing that Alby is dead without the Serum, tells Thomas to leave him and just run, looking for shelter so that the Grievers do not find them. Thomas, unable to leave Alby to die, uses the vines on the walls to pull him up and out of the view of the Grievers, attracts their attention, and evades them. Minho sees Thomas's evasion tactic and uses it to send the four Grievers by chasing them over the Cliff. Thomas, Alby, and Minho are the first people in the Glade to survive a night in the maze. After getting back to the Glade the next morning, Newt calls a Gathering of The Keepers to discuss what to do with Thomas. Some of the Keepers vote to relieve him of punishment, but others, especially Gally, vote to lock him up in the Slammer, the jail block, as a punishment. Minho, however, nominates Thomas to replace him as the Keeper of The Runners, although he later reveals that he did this to make the idea of naming Thomas a Runner less ambitious. Gally decides to kick Minho off The Council, causing Minho to attack him. Thomas is locked up in jail and becomes a Runner and, the next day, starts his training with Minho.
