Six teens are devoted to a game with one rule: If a player gets tagged, they must change their life within the next fifteen minutes. The better the player, the bigger the change. One might give their car away, or punch the school bully. Another might change identities or sacrifice their virginity. Anything to keep evolving, to avoid fitting into a label or caring about the junk they own. But their quest for enlightenment has taken a rotten final turn - one of the players has murdered the game's creator, the teen prophet (cult leader?) David Bloom. Our narrator is being framed for the crime; can he clear his name and discover which of his lifelong friends is the murderer before he takes the fall? [sic] is a gritty teen murder mystery that delves into the psychology of enlightenment among the criminally dysfunctional.

"I just want to see if this will teach me how to feel again. And since you seem to want to die anyhow, will you please let me kill you?” Dubbed as the Walking Disaster Magnet, Leonara Rhinehart, the Rhinehart conglomerate's sole heir, only goes to Tokyo to search for her hidden illegitimate half-sibling (whose existence is actually yet to be confirmed). So when she ends up arrested and as a suspect of a major heist on her first day in Japan, it is almost an expected outcome. Much to the dismay of Jonathan My-Name-Is-John Castile, her secretary/bodyguard, since he's the one who has to clean up her mess. Of course, even an omen like getting arrested is not stopping Lynn from finding another potential heir for the Rhinehart Empire, and so in her quest to find him/her she somehow weaves together the fates of a mischievous band of thieves, the local Japanese mafia, the Minister of Justice's family and the son of the diamond tycoon whom she'd allegedly robbed.

Meadow's frail heart only has a few months left to beat inside of her, even with assistance. The only way she'll survive is with a transplant, but being on the bottom of the waiting list, she's looking death in the eyes rather than getting the surgery.
