It's been five years since Coraline visited the Other World, and she and her old best pal Wybie Lovat, have loathed each other ever since the fight that broke them apart. When Coraline moves back to Oregon, the two detest each other as much as they used to - maybe even more. But with difficult circumstances arising between them, the old need to comfort each other once again grows. But, is it enough to fix their problems? Seal the cracks that had torn them apart? When an old friend of Coraline's returns, these questions only get harder.
