Sudden luck strikes the one person who wonāt share the news.
Itās a mega win on a weekly lotto ticket; a ton of cash.
But even though Christinaās howls of triumph scare the cat, she canāt tell her stepdad Harrison. Not even when a frustrated, off-the-cuff retort to a co-worker sets her free from a newspaper job she no longer needs anyway.
She fills notebook pages with bucket lists, but canāt bring herself to just pick any. Wanting but not letting herself have, thatās Christina all over. Motherless, practically raising Harrison instead of the other way around. For Christina, winning is what you hide so fate canāt make it sour.
But fate has other plans.
She lucks into a newer, quirkier job (to hide from Harrison), and the new office opens a whole new world right on her doorstep.
Bit by bit, Christinaās horizon widens. A black and white photograph helps her to discover friends of the finest kinds. A tribe with eyes like hers.
While she struggles with Harrisonās addiction, and fights against all that she now has, fate wheels Christina on a 900-miles road trip to confront the young woman she could be, but canāt yet face in the mirror.
