Five teenage girls. Five screens. One summer that changes everything.
When digital overload lands them in the hospital, five sixteen-year-olds find themselves at the Hoffman Estate - a grand, centuries-old property with no wifi, no signal, and no escape from the one thing they've been avoiding most: themselves.
Alicia has built a following of 47,000 strangers who think they know her. Jenny is drowning in cyberbullying, she can't escape. Liz has disappeared into a gaming world where she finally matters. Daniella is chasing beauty standards she can never afford or achieve. Christine has turned her entire life into content - and forgotten how to live it.
Stripped of their screens and forced into each other's company, the five girls must face the hardest audience of all - themselves.
But the Hoffman Estate holds its own secrets. Hidden in its library, the journals of generations of women reveal that the desperate search for approval and perfection is nothing new. And in the locked tower room, a voice from another century waits to remind them that who you are when no one is watching is the only version of yourself that was ever real.
