Jessica Mastriani has spent most of her teenage life in hot water. While other girls go cheer leading or to a drama club, her extra-curricular activities include fist fights with the school football team and month-long stints in detention - luckily, sitting right next to Rob, the hottest senior around.
But when Jess agrees to walk the two miles home with her best friend for a bit of exercise, she can't know that the Indiana thunderstorm brewing up around them is going to smash through her whole life and change it forever. She's struck by lightening. She lives. She's lucky. But an amazing power has been woken inside her, one that can be used for good . . . or for evil.
