15-year-old Hannah stands in a phone booth in a strange city. How did she end up here? She has the phone number of a girls' shelter in her wallet. But what terrible thing happened that would justify a flight there? This is not the first time Hannah does things she doesn't understand, has ominous feelings that seem unfounded, and makes accusations that land others in hot water. Self-absorbed, says her mother. Attention-seeking, diagnoses her therapist uncle. Crazy, she thinks herself. Hannah knows nothing about the Others. The Others who protect her, keep painful memories for her, and act for her in serious situations. And the situation is more than serious: Hannah and the Others are in life-threatening danger. If they want to save themselves, Hannah must get to know the Others. Does she have the courage to overcome her fear?.
