After her mother
loses her battle to cancer, fifteen-year-old Destiny Moore moves from Chicago
to Avalon Cove, a mysterious island in South Carolina. There, she starts a new
life working part-time as a magician's assistant and living with her eccentric
uncle Fred and his hottie husband, Clark.
Destiny is soon
befriended by two outcasts, Tasha Gordon and Topher McGentry. She accepts their
invitation to accompany them to a place called Wonderland, a former boarding
house owned by the enigmatic Adrianna Marveaux.
It's there that
Destiny meets and falls in love with Dominic, Tasha becomes enamored with
Juliet, and Topher gives his heart to Pablo.
When Destiny
uncovers the reason she and her friends have really been brought to Wonderland,
she's faced with the most crucial choice of her life.
