Erin Flores is 15 years old and an orphan. She lives alone, is self-dependant, and only has one close friend. That's all there is to her. Or so her year thinks. Aside from Malachi, nobody really knows why Erin isn't hanging out with her old best friends. Nobody knows why (or how) she lives alone. And nobody dares question her. She's not scary, but everyone's got this underlying fear that one day, she'll snap. They don't know that she already has. On an emotional rollercoaster, like most teens are, she keeps going despite desperately wanting to get off. In the midst of it all, Erin and Mal manage to make new friends with some misfits from Midtown High, and as they begin to trust and rely on each other more and more, problems arise and they're thrown into a strange world of identity crises, romance, weird pasts and superheroes alike.
