Over time, she’d created different personalities that she considered her masks to deal with the world around her. It allowed her to fit in with multiple groups of students and develop friendships.

Kate’s sophomore year of high school isn’t shaping up to be much better than previous years until two new students arrive and challenge her current way of life. Adam and Alyssa have her same abilities, but instead of hiding, they have embraced and utilized their skills. They continue to question and pester until she finally gives in and meets their family. It opens her eyes to a whole new way of life. The three become inseparable and decide to use their gifts to help those in need. After helping the first few victims, they decide to take on bigger challenges. With that, comes more danger. A young girl has disappeared and Kate knows there is much more to the story. They enter a race against time to save the girl and themselves.

Unless the coming storm can be stopped, no one will survive. With the help of Adam and Alyssa, Kate searches for the cause of the impending destruction, and they stumble across an old Cavanaugh prophecy. The storm is actually a dangerous curse created many years ago and placed upon the entire town. Only one person can defeat it. Kate. But she doesn’t know how. As the wind howls, and the day turns to night, no one is safe from Cavanaugh’s wrath. Kate must make the ultimate sacrifice to gain the town’s freedom or watch them all die.
