Thirteen-year-old Nico is left alone to grope toward understanding and clarity, while her parents drift toward their own risky consolations. Over one haunted summer, Nico must find her own way to tackle the mystery of loss and recovery. With her lively mind, Nico looks for solace and security in books, art, and - recklessly - her sister's enigmatic boyfriend, with whom she falls into a seductive, dangerous relationship...
