Phoebe lived the everyday life of a normal 14-year-old girl, just trying to survive eighth grade. But when her friend Amanda suddenly started acting different, it's obvious to Phoebe that the problem was bullying. However, the problem seemed to fade away for Amanda as soon as her new boyfriend entered her life. Phoebe thought that maybe Amanda learned that what the bullies said didn't matter, and moved on. But on a Monday that finally seemed like a good day among bad, Amanda suddenly loses half her hope--but Phoebe's life is oddly the one effected. The next day, her life starts falling apart, piece by piece, until there is seemingly nothing left. Confused, lost, hurt, and hopeless, Phoebe meets up with a few other peers who are trapped in the same situation. Together, they slowly realize that their entire life was a lie, and learn that they are not even the species of human they thought they were.
