Polaris is a 16-year-old girl in high school,  who is nobody special. She is very awkward at times and has a hard time standing up for herself. One of her biggest fears is being the center of attention and she hates her first name. 

Her best friend Amelia is one of the only people who she feels comfortable around, until she discovers the truth. In the process of uncovering deception,  she befriends Atlas, her next-door neighbor, who she thinks she has nothing in common with. 

Throughout the chapters she becomes closer with Atlas and farther from Amelia. She finally feels free, until something terrible happens. Her happiness is replaced with guilt, and she can't help but wonder if it was all her fault.

He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.
