Alex Vasquez isn't your typical boy. (In fact, he wasn't always one.) He can communicate with Chaos, the force that controls time, space, and dimensional fabric. In other words, he creates cool portals which he uses to escape school, dysphoria, boredom, and nagging dads. (James and Carlos can be the worst.) Jumping through universes is always fun, until Alex makes some enemies and oversteps his boundaries, and has to choose between revealing his talents to the adorable new kid, Avery, or keeping the multiverse as he knows it safe. Will he be able to outrun his problems, both mundane and otherworldly, before they catch up to him in the most catastrophic way possible?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?

Knowing she couldn't compete with Maddie, Claire hid her feelings for Zion, satisfied with admiring him from afar. However, when a series of events led Claire closer to Zion, her feelings for him grew from infatuation to love. And despite fighting hard to keep her feelings contained by distancing herself from Zion, he was determined to show her that he's earned a spot in her life.
