I knew my life was going to change after summer, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened.
My boring existence suddenly got complicated and weird.
And then it got dangerous.
I even thought I might die.
But it wasn't just about me; the whole town got turned upside down.
And it all began when I saw something weird.
No, it started before then.

For 17-year-old Calliope Laws, everything is changing. Not only is her best friend leaving for college, but when she injures herself right before a big audition, instead of being crushed...she's relieved.
The life everyone expects of her is one she no longer wants.
But how can she admit this? And how can she convince everyone, including herself, that she can do something else?
To pass the time until her foot heals and she figures things out, Callie takes a job at Montrose High. She's prepared for an extended snooze-fest – she's swapped the hamster wheel of dance training for the humdrum of the school office – but Callie is wrong. It quickly becomes obvious that something weird is going on at Montrose High, but what, exactly?
She digs deeper, and finds some disturbing information, but meanwhile Callie's own life is imploding. She doesn't know what to do or who to turn to, but after two students collapse, she knows she has to do something.
Callie is determined to uncover the truth, but will this put her own life in danger?
