Introduction
In Diablo Valley, California, a complacent community struggles to adapt to a changing world. A brother and sister grapple with being abandoned by their father and the powerful presence of their mother’s new boyfriend. The siblings are forced to take control of the chaos around them and reinvent everyone’s lives. Nineteen-year-old Pam WU remembers her absent father with longing. Pam’s only friend Scott Parker, a restless Korean adoptee, confronts his fundamentalist parents with his sexuality. Pam’s mother’s boyfriend Wendell threatens to tear apart the Wu family. With catastrophe imminent, lines are crossed, secrets long repressed begin to emerge, and all are left to face their own selfishness and intolerance... until Pam’s little brother, Timothy, discovers a way to alter everyone’s reality.
