When eighteen-year-old Mara graduates high school, her main goal is to just get a decent job that will pay enough for her to eventually go to college. Instead, she gets a job the many people would die for, a new life in New York City, and a mysterious boy lurking around the corner at her office. What more could a girl ask for? That is, until things start to get weird, people start disappearing with no explanation and then reappearing in a week, looking new and healthy and improved. Mara isn't supposed to notice these things, it's dangerous and risky, but she can't help it, she's always been curious. Now that the cat's been let out of the bag, curiosity might just come sneaking up on its unexpecting behind.
