As Vy begins to feel invisible outside of the roles she plays, Erik clings harder to his routine-until her absence starts to unravel it.

    When twenty-something year-old Lucas, a gifted empath and globe trotter who 'travels with the changing wind' returns to his hometown of Playa de Oro, he expects a certain normalcy to follow him. He needs it to anchor him while dealing with his mother, who suffers from a brain tumor that causes seizures, or his youngest sister, Dee, battling depression. And money is short, so short that his oldest sister, Percy, is thinking about dropping out of school. What the family needs is a miracle. But things don't work out that way. In the middle of the storm flies in his eccentric Abuelita, a fierce woman determined to help. But her help consists of a different kind of help; as a Mayan witch from Nicaragua, she brings with her more than just a touch of witchcraft, unleashing a barrage of magic that slowly begins to turn into a new normal, full of dreams, card readings, Mayan Gods, and mythic figures springing to life. But as Lucas learns to hone his gifts and balance a 'normal' life, he soon realizes that all magic performed comes with a price... The question is...how far down the rabbit hole will he go?

    Yan Ng is the poorest student at Two Bridges Academy. While her peers are heiresses to great fortunes, her family struggles to get by selling treats at their small humble bakery.

Enter Maia and Ainsley, two girls who swoop in and make her a part of their friend group.

But when someone from her past threatens to expose her secret after a horrible misunderstanding, she must lie even more to cover her tracks. Can she hold up her elaborate facade or will she be exposed as one of Two Bridges's four charity cases?
