Ever since her aunt died four months ago, seventeen-year-old Vivian (Viv) Spry is aching to figure out where she belongs. Her father has become emotionally distant and even her best friend has found a new sense of identity in her theater group. Unfortunately, nobody in her rural West Virginia town has time for an assertive, angry girl, especially a girl dubbed âIce Queenâ for refusing to sleep with her popular boyfriend. On top of everything, she discovers a strange ability to sense energy that really freaks her out. The only place Viv feels like itâs safe to be her true self is the tree stand where her aunt taught her to hunt. It's the one place she still feels connected to the person who knew her best. So when fracking destroys the stand and almost kills her, Viv vows to find a way to take the gas company down.
When Dex Mathews comes to townâa new kid whose mom lands a job laying pipelineâhis and Viv's worlds collide and a friendship (and maybe more?) slowly blossoms. But Vivâs plan to sabotage the pipeline company could result in Dexâs mom losing her job, putting them on the streets. Now Viv and Dex have to decide whatâs worth fighting forâtheir families, their principles, or each other.
