"That was fun!" I said, brushing my hair from my face.
Trey nodded in agreement and we all laughed. "What should we do next?" he asked.
The other three of us shrugged. "I don't know."
Vanessa Knights, Trey Harrison, Eugene North, and Canada Durst are four great friends, all very smart, but constantly stuck in their own little world. Ever since kindergarten, they were pulling off the best pranks and coming up with the craziest, and sometimes, even the most dangerous activities. From sprinting freely across rooftops to having picnics in front of the White House gates at midnight, the four have done it, so consumed by the adventurous fantasy they created together that they were oblivious to the ongoing chaos around them.
One fateful night, the four came up with their craziest adventure yet: they plan the "trip of their lives". The four decide to take a road trip from their usual D.C. runs to the urban thrill of New York City. They take Trey's car and gather up a total of $500,000 cash, planning to stay in the city for a week and a half before returning home in time for their high school graduation.
The plan works out at first, with some encounters on the road and in the city, but when a terrible accident occurs, the four are drawn in and are forced to return home early. They try to resume their normal lives, but they soon realize they may have brought things with them from the accident--paranormal things. While fascinated with their newfound abilities, Vanessa, Eugene, Trey, and Canada have to be careful not to reveal themselves, before a series of events threaten to.

""Kitten, you're worried about something, and you cannae lie. You're picking at your hands and looking around to clean up my room. Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?"
I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest.
"Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously.
Iain smirked and walked towards me, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, and we were kissing."
When Kit's older brother, Ben, finally makes it with the girl he's been crushing on for four years, only to find out she's wary of family, he lies and calls his baby sister his best friend's girlfriend, turning everyone's life upside down. While Kit's struggling with the impending doom of college and parents that could divorce at any second, she's also juggling a fake relationship with her brother's hot best friend, Iain. As if that weren't complicated enough, a chemistry sparks between Iain, igniting flames and destroying the crumbling world around them.
