The Foster family has always been a little strange. They don't keep up with fashion, they don't watch television, they don't even have cellphones. Sylvia Foster has grown accustomed to her sheltered lifestyle, but her sister Sierra is sick of not fitting in.
Why can't they be normal?
What starts as simple teenage rebellion from Sierra quickly turns into something far worse. Before Sylvia knows what's happening, her entire life has been turned upside down. Like an ancient picture frame, her world splinters and falls to pieces . . .
