Mental hospitals start getting boring after you've been submitted quite a few times before, which is what Theo thinks after his umpteenth failed attempt. Same boring nurses, same stubborn therapists, same stagnant environment... Until a new nurse takes up a job there, and things no longer seem as dreary as they were before.

Meet Odessa Reed, a 16 year old basket case who hates just about everyone and everything. She's forced to live at the Rollins family lake house for the entire holiday and soon realises that the Rollins family household is not exactly what they seem...that they're not exactly...human. She is swooped into a land of chaos and fantasy when she befriends the daughter of the household, Cassidy. Cassidy tells her and shows her secrets that she shouldn't of have and flips Odessa's whole world upside down. Cassidy however, falls in love with Odessa and so does Nico Lyall...a less than normal human as well. To cut a long story short Nico and Cassidy start a full out war with the inclusion of thier families and both the vampire council and the alpas of the Uktena tribe
