It's Zera's fifteenth birthday, but she's finding little to celebrate. Zera's uncle and guardian, "the Toad," and his girlfriend, Tiffany, are dragging Zera to the grand opening of a GMO fast-food restaurant.

As if a nauseating meal out weren't bad enough, Zera's in trouble at school for a prank she didn't do - and her classmates think she is a freak. The single light in her birthday will be a gift from her grandmother. A gift that will lead her to uncovering her family's centuries-old mystical connection to nature - a gift that will lead her to the battle of her life.
