A story of two teens who find themselves thrown together overnight during a snowstorm and discover a surprising connection.Tegan Everly is quiet. Known around school simply as the girl with the hand, ...she's usually only her most outspoken self with her friend Neel, and right now they're not exactly talking.

In walks Mac Durant. Striking, magnetic, a gifted athlete, Mac Durant is the classmate adored by all. Tegan can't stand him. Even his name sounds fake. Except the Mac Durant she thinks she knows isn't the one before her now—this Mac is rattled and asking her for help.Over one unforgettable night spent consuming antique records and corner-shop provisions, Tegan and Mac cast aside their public personas and family pressures long enough to forge an unexpectedly charged bond and—in the very spot in New Jersey that inspired Edison's boldest creations—totally reinvent themselves. But could Tegan's most shameful secret destroy what they've built?
