description: Like many teens sometimes it feels as though everything in Jess Flynn's life has been engineered for maximum drama--from her performance at the school talent show to the reappearance of her childhood best friend and perennial crush Jeremy to her friends trying to set her up with one of the hottest guys in school. It's almost as if everything might finally be going her way...until one day a tiny black phone with an apple logo on its screen falls out of her best friend's backpack and lands at Jess's feet.The problem is it's 1998 and the first iPhone isn't due out for another nine years.Jess's friends refuse to acknowledge the strange device. Her sister Sara on hospice care with a terminal blood disease for once can't tell Jess what she should do. It's almost as if everyone is hiding something from her. Even her beloved dog Fuller seems different...like literally different because he definitely didn't have that same pattern of spots on his stomach last week...Nothing in Jess Flynn's world is as it seems and as the cracks begin to show Jess will discover her entire life is nothing more than someone else's entertainment. Except in this reality the outside world is no place anyone would want to escape to.
