Burning with curiosity and desperate to end her loneliness, Joan makes it her mission to get to the bottom of this boy's secrets. However, all that changes when a boy named Daniel Thundyil transfers to her school and she begins to suspect that he is concealing powers of his own. Since that painful revelation, she has hidden her powers, isolating herself from others, even keeping her own parents at a distance.

Whoever loves art, literature, and the act of writing, drawing or reading knows how hard it is to keep the deep concentration necessary to achieve something of relative creative value. "EVERYTHING, it has EVERYTHING to do with a room of one's own!"
