A woman with nowhere to go takes a job hiding two children from the world—because when they get upset, they burst into flames.

The problem isn't the fire. It's the family paying her to keep them invisible.

Protecting them becomes the first thing that makes her feel alive, turning one strange summer into a fierce lesson in love, loyalty, and chosen family.
