Ever since her reckless older brother, Nate, died in a car crash, Cora has felt suffocated by her small town and even smaller high school. She seeks solace in drawing beautiful, elaborate maps, envisioning herself in exotic locales. When Cora begins to fall for Damian, the handsome, brooding boy who was in the car with Nate the night he died, she uncovers her brother’s secret artistic life and realizes she had more in common with him than she ever imagined. This is the lyrical tale of one girl’s journey through the redemptive powers of art, friendship, and love --- and a reminder that sometimes, the most thrilling worlds can be found within ourselves.
