Teenage Marie lives on a small island with her father and catatonic mother. Virtually friendless and sullen, Marie begins to experience frightening changes in her body that mark her as a dangerous threat.

Sally, 17, is locked up at Teenland, a prison-like institution for teens who are so fucked emotionally that they have developed supernatural powers. The mission is to normalize the misfit teens and Sally accepts the premise that she is sick and abnormal. But when a rebellious girl instead encourages Sally to embrace her strength, their friendship could change everything.
