After her parents died in a tragic car accident, her sister Bea joined the elusive community called The Unity Project, leaving Lo to fend for herself. Desperate not to lose the only family she has left, Lo has spent the last six years trying to reconnect with Bea, only to be met with radio silence. <p/>When Lo's given the perfect opportunity to gain access to Bea's reclusive life, she thinks they're finally going to be reunited.
