When 5th-grader Amelia receives an assignment to write one thing unique about her, she sets out to make herself different from her identical twin sister.

Kaylin's family is fairly happy and fairly normal - besides the fact that they have to wear baskets over their heads at all times and they're not allowed to ever meet anyone from the outside world. Her parents refuse to tell her why they live this way, and Kaylin can't take it anymore. She decides to begin breaking rules and starts by inviting over a boy whom she met online.
