Emilia S. Harlow believes she is as plain as a girl can get, but that illusion is shattered one day when she gets hauled away by a group of strange men and women. Emilia is brought to a place called Carter’s Home for the Mentally Unstable: a well known correction facility that the allegedly insane get taken too. Slowly, things start to fall in place, and Emilia, with the help of her new friends, needs to get out as soon as possible. There is no more sitting back. Now Emilia’s options are to kill, or be killed.
