"I was always going to be on the outside because I saw visions, visions that came true. And I'd been seeing them since I was little. When they first started, I was na ve enough to think that everyone around me also saw and heard things. I didn't know that other people weren't like me."

More than anything else, Indigo Russell longs to fit in. And if she can't accomplish that, then she'll settle for fading into the background, which she's managed to do rather well over the last couple of years. To most of Ridgemont High, she's just another teenager walking the halls, doodling in her notebook during class, never raising her hand. An average student. That's what she'd like you to think.

But Indie isn't average; she's different. She has visions, visions that allow her to see into the future and back again. Only her family and best friend, Lacey, know about them. But when she sees Lacey's boyfriend with another girl, Indie has to decide whether to trust her instincts or her friends. As she grows closer with John, an enigmatic loner who recently transferred to her school, the visions intensify, threatening not only to alter the lives of others, but also to expose her well-kept secret.
