Vienna South sees everything.
She observes the world from a distance, takes in every human habit and interprets it.
She has been like this since the Depression; the period after her family died in a horrific accident that Vienna miraculously survived. Vienna harmed herself, made seven attempts at suicide, and in the end she separated herself from the world to watch it.
She has felt nothing for a long time, and she has no intention of getting her feelings back. But when a boy named Samson stumbles across her observing he changes everything.
She begins to feel for him, a sense of friendship she has never felt before. Vienna is changing. She begins to bond with the boy as he teaches her feelings and about the world by experiencing it for herself.
But every day, though her highs are higher, her lows are a fatal drop. She finds herself loving life and hating it at the same time, torn between feelings.
She is unsure of what she will choose.
