In the novel, the character of Brea is happy to help her best friend Harmony hunt Tom, the ghost that is haunting her, as long as it’s from a distance. The two girls couldn’t be more different: Brea is an engineer’s daughter; Harmony, a paranoid schizophrenic’s. But when Harmony dies and Brea becomes the target, she must figure out who Tom is and what he wants before she is next.

Brea goes from reclusive to reckless, breaking down barriers at school and at home by asserting herself in a way only Harmony knew how. She is torn between her life and her dead best friend’s and between the boys in each of them. As she straddles the lines, Brea finds out that even best friends have secrets.
