Tassel Pager is a mind-talker. Not the superhero kind; the kind in which you talk in your head more than with anyone else in this world. And considering the fact that she speaks to almost everyone about almost everything, that's saying something. Arashi Murphy considers himself as a calm and light-minded person. But with the recent loss of his mother, shrouds of sorrow have started to cover him, quite often at random times. To top it off, he's even shifted away from Boston, away from the only place he's ever felt and called home. When the two meet during a Chemistry experiment, a friendship, more or less, begins. It's not long before Arashi feels like he's back again, and he's convinced that it's because of Tassel's charisma. But for Tassel, the conversations with her mind have seemed to spread and race more than ever, burning their way through her brain like a wildfire. It's getting out of control - and she's not sure how to get back to her former self. Or if she even wants to get back to her former self at all. With life launching itself towards them, Arashi's and Tassel's ways intertwine, unfolding new and old experiences. Experiences that will bring them out into the world, and experiences that will push them to the edge of it all.
