Fifteen-year-old technical artist and animation apprentice Travis Ando grew up moving around a lot. Her mother is an interactive movie star. Her father is a rock musician. She completed primary and intermediate school through distance education and has never had a real friend. When her mother accepts a role at a studio in her home town, Travis hopes it will be a chance for the family to finally settle down and for her to get to be a normal girl. Will she get her wish?

Travis' parents arrive in New Glory, and the family is reunited. But no sooner are they back together than Travis finds herself her mother's keeper. Things still aren't running smoothly at her apprenticeship, but she's made a new friend. She's ready to make life in New Glory work for her and to stand apart from her parents.

Shiri Ando makes her debut at Sai Anto Productions, and Travis is starting to wish she'd apprenticed to another company. But she can't change the fact she's Shiri's daughter any more than she can stop sketching cybernetic wearables. A new friend, a fellow animation apprentice, appears. Will Travis finally have a real girl friend?

Travis starts hanging out with the other Sai Anto animator apprentices. While she enjoys finally having friends her own age, she's not sure how to navigate the group.

After Melinda's party, Travis found herself in the very unusual position of being grounded. Not everyone agrees with her mother's reaction to what's happened, and some take it upon themselves to help her subvert the grounding. Also, what is up with these boys? No, seriously. Travis would like to know.

Introduced to New Glory's virtual world by two well-meaning girlfriends, Travis now has to balance her desire to explore this new space, her friendships, and finding out a boy likes her. Maybe there's more to New Glory than a distance education system and her mother's interactive career.

With her mother banned from the studio, Travis has to figure out how to continue to live her life under an even more watchful eye.

As things heat up at home, Travis starts considering her options. Where will she finally land?
