Carly, age 18, is finally heading to college. She's finally leaving the busted up, Welshing, Alabama. She's lived there as long as she can remember, more specifically since she was three. She doesn't know anything other than her small town, her family and her friends. So, going to a bigger city is a drastic change. But, that's not the only drastic change that'll be thrown her way. She's introduced to a whole new world; an alternate universe that takes place in the same dimension. Elementals. Things, or rather people, she'd never heard of before. Not only does she find that they exist, but she finds that she may be a part of their family, a huge part. This isn't your typical coming of age experience. This is much more for Carly; so much more.
