Hope's dad had been in the army for her entire life, dragging the family all over the country. While most army families can settle in a town for a few years at a time, Hope was more often leaving the town before she could learn its name, let alone make some friends. It made staying in the closet easier for her, avoiding any conflict that would come up if her father ever learned that she was gay.

But something was different when they arrived in Kulpon Park, where a group of mysterious kids were taking more than a passing interest in Hope. When a beautiful girl named Eddi started to flirt with her, she knew that it was somehow related to those kids. And when those kids seemed to glow in a weird way, the only thing Hope could think of was that it had something to do with her father's classified work. Fortunately, she had her old friend, Jean, to help her figure things out.
