Cassie is a young girl who has a very glass-half-empty take on life. She's a realist in her eyes, she's a pessimist in others', and she's rarely in a good mood. An orphan at the ripe age of 18, Cassie has decided to go out into the world. She's going to move to New York! Cliche? Yes. However, she's not one for dreams. Cassie's been offered a job. A famous journalist has remarked on her rather realistic and downright saddening views. He believes she has what it takes to be a famous journalist, and maybe to change the world a little bit while she's at it (even if she's just a little bit depressing). But, living in a new city with a new set of people, who's to say a person won't come along that will change her mind?

But the question is; will she ever take that mask off and be the warm-hearted person she really is? What happens when someone comes knocking on Hope's door; disguised as an innocent school girl, only for Hope to do what she always does and treats her just like every other person and slams the door in her face. Except what Hope didn't know is that this 'girl' isn't just any ordinary girl, in fact, she is a powerful witch and her name is Karma and she loves to find people like Hope to teach them a lesson; in hope to either change them or break them. Hope didn't realise that the moment she slammed that door shut on Karma, was the moment her entire world would forever change as she gets pulled into the supernatural world that she never knew existed. Once the witch curses Hope, she gives her 90 days to prove that she can be Empathetic, Loyal, Respectful, Forgiving, Honest, and most of all, Courageous and Selfless, but in doing so, she will have to face all that she's been running from for the last 6 years, which means that she'll have to face what changed her into the closed off person that she became in the first place and with each bad thing that she does from day one will have a karmic consequence. If she succeeds and becomes who she is destined to be by the final day, then the curse will break, but if she fails, she will die and the witch will entrap her soul for all eternity. Will Hope survive Karma's curse and will she be able to cope with what she faces along the way, including the shocking truth about herself and those around her?
