When four girls, three of them seventeen, and one sixteen, almost seventeen, meet in probably the strangest way possible, they find they have a lot in common, and become quick friends. For one thing, they all have unusual colored hair, and they all feel drawn to different elements: fire, earth, air, and water. As they try to fit in at horrid high school, difficult because of their hair color, they learn a secret. A secret that helps them find out who they are, but also puts them in danger, the dark elements know who they are and have sworn to find them, and hurt them.
