When the first death got reported on her television screen, she knew that it wasn't going to be the last. The city took no precautionary measures, however, letting street gangs and crime to go on as always. But with her brother acting more suspicious than usual, she was worried sick and needed to vent. What Jane really needs is a psychiatrist. The problem? She is one. When she decides to finally fund the idea for a health care group, she knew it won't go as she planned: A geek with severe OCD; A drug addict; A suicidal; A little brother; An anorexic; A jock with short term memory loss; and a victim of domestic abuse. Force them all to sit together and help each other with their problems, and all hell breaks loose. Unwanted romances start. Fights break out. A murder is investigated. Love is formed. Lies are told. Arresting threats are issued. People disappear. Lives are lost. Hearts are broken. Tables turn over.

Lakota and Helena are complete opposites. Helena has a great family that spoils her, many admirers, and is a total social butterfly. Lakota, on the other hand, is abused by her father, has nearly no friends, and only talks to people if required.

These unique people are called Winged Humans, or W.H.'s. This one "defect" has brought these two best friends together to try to save nature from humanity's destruction and thoughtlessness. Join Helena and Lakota on an epic journey of love and loss as they defy all they have been taught and believed in since birth.
