Fourteen-year-old Chris has a list of things he despises about his life: the monotony of Liberty Village, his beachside town, the constant demolition of small cottages and the subsequent construction of oversized, vacant eyesores. His aloof, recently divorced parents and the complete absence of anything worth living for. With just a skateboard and an interest in music to distract him from death by boredom, he is certain that his small town has nothing to offer him. His summer and future school year seem set in stone. No friends. No fun. No thanks.Chris’s heart changes the moment he spots a lifeline in the female form. Dark makeup, dark humor, and supernaturally beautiful, she awakens him to the realities of Liberty Village, a world he could only dream of, and shows him excitement in the last place he expected to find it.
