This story is told through the voice of 16-year-old Corrine, the suicidal girl who avoids eye contact with people for fear of frightening them away. Being born with peculiar eyes that shift into iridescent colors whenever her mood changes doesn't quite put her at the top of the 'popular kids' list -not that she'd want to be. Corrine has secrets -like having the ability to alter objects without touching them, and suppressing an electric mist, she calls 'Static' in her palms and hair. All of these problems have forced her into solitude, willing her to avoid growing too close to anyone. That is, until new faces start showing up in her quiet town, having more in common with her than anyone she ever grew up with. Silas, the new boy looks strangely familiar and has eyes that flicker just like her own. And the closer their drawn to each other, the more Corrine realizes... She's not the only one who can do extraordinary things.
