Her mind-reading ability has always made her feel special, but as she enters her new life all she feels like is an outcast. Sentenced to live with the grandfather she never knew she had, Claudia will experience high school as the principal's granddaughter. Despite misconceptions, her anger has kept her from building a relationship with the man. Then one day at school Claudia has a close brush with death. A handsome stranger, Quentin, from a force completely alien to her normal world, saves her. Who is he and why does she feel a strange connection to him?
