However, that blessing has becomes a curse for Vicky when it attracts unwanted attention... and now she can't trust anyone.

After an incident at the school that unsettles everyone, it comes back to haunt her, and she has to try harder to keep up her cheerful facade... Before her friends find out who she really is.
Soon, the three girls discover magic powers within themselves they never thought they had. As they meet more people, both good and bad, that share same abilities that they have, they find out that they are part of something bigger than any of them could imagine.
