After attempting suicide, Charlotte Evans is sent to Pandora Academy for Afflicted Children. In this academy, every student has some sort of strange power. The Parrish twins, Nathan and Scarlett light things on fire with their minds when they're angry, Lucy Madden can control water (like some Percy Jackson stuff), and so on and so forth. Sometimes, you can physically tell that they're different, like Charlotte's naturally pastel blue hair and deep purple eyes (iris and pupil) and Lucy's blue-tinted skin tone. Here, Charlotte meets Carter Dawson who soon becomes a love interest with some secrets of his own, and Isaac Taylor, who's ready to take over the world with any afflicted kids who want to join him. It's up to Charlotte and her friends to bring him down from his self-made throne and keep the world as it was.
