When eighteen-year-old Mei is offered a high-paying live-in-tutor gig on Arrow Island for the summer, she can't refuse. Compared to her mother's tiny apartment, life with the wealthy Morisons seems glamorous, but it's also fraught with mystery--both earthly and supernatural. Well-wrought racial and economic tension guide Mei's journey of self-discovery, even as she contends with a truly creepy ghostly menace.
