It the early 1900's, Cassandra Delacourt was orphaned at the age of ten. For years afterwards, she dodged countless dangers in the slums of London, avoiding prostitution and handlers by dressing as a boy, and keeping clear as best as she could of thief rings, gangs run by ruthless, street-wise orphans. She finds work as a newsboy, selling and delivering newspapers to the bustling city, among other things, in her disguise for as long as she can keep it up.
One night on her way back to her makeshift shelter after a long day's work, a stranger from a fantastical place mistakes her as a lost boy in need of a home. He whisks her away to his land of adventure, a place where kids never grow up.
The catch is: it's only for boys.
When he discovers his mistake, Peter Pan kicks Cass out of the group.
Cass decides never getting hungry or old isn't so bad, so she'll stay in Neverland, but she doesn't want to do it alone. With the help of Tip, her new fairy friend, Cass rescues homeless girls and brings them back to Neverland, forming The Lost Girls.
Neverland is quite small, however, for two groups of wild teens at odds. So a battle of pranks and wit ensues, one hoping to flush out the other.
The Lost Girls is an annoying and ambitious group, in Peter Pan's opinion, taking over his town, seducing his friends and turning them into drooling mindless halfwits, and even befriending that awful pirate Captain Hook.
Most annoying, however, is Cass, their leader. She's strong-willed, thick-headed, and, he'll never admit out loud, becoming more frustratingly beautiful with each fight.
