Fourteen-year-old, Laura “Elmur” Murphy figures that her genetic makeup has disadvantaged her. When she was five and wanted to be the pretty Indian Princess in the school play, she was given the part of a cowboy named Rag-time Joe instead.

So, on the day freshmen from selected high schools throughout the world are injected with someone else’s genes as part of “Stepping Away from I’ness,” Elmur decides she wants to see the world from someone else’s point of view.

But after a sick twist of fate, she finds herself on the run with a group of other student misfits. In a real-life video game of strength and wits, Elmur must become the hero of her own story or risk becoming someone she doesn’t recognize.
