A honeymoon cruise goes horribly wrong when the captain insists that his 17-year-old son take over the helm, and the ship gets lost in the Bermuda Triangle. One lifeboat full of 12 people, including the captain and his son, washes up on an island. At first they think it is deserted, but they soon discover that a young woman named Aileen lives there. She claims to have arrived there when she was three years old, but her eloquent vocabulary makes them doubt her story.

Piper is beginning her freshman year at a high school in West Virginia, feeling like she's always been on the outside looking in. She's never thought of herself as pretty or smart, and fitting in has always been a struggle. That all changes when she befriends a group of kids who wear black and embrace the unconventional. Through their friendship, Piper starts to explore new aspects of herself--her politics, her beliefs, and even her gender identity.
