From the back cover

Grace is taken hostage with her adopted sister Summer in a derelict warehouse. When Summer is executed before her eyes, Grace braces to die, certain her parents have always favoured Summer. Yet they rush forward to free her — only to peel her hands away, telling her that saving her was the last debt they owed, then run back inside to die beside Summer in the explosion.

Grace wakes on the morning after Summer first came home, and immediately files a two-year overseas exchange application. Her parents, who remember the warehouse too, empty the house and relocate to Chicago without her, leaving only a text telling her to grow up. When she likes their housewarming video, her father and mother call to accuse her of spite, and her mother even asks whether the warehouse was Grace's doing.

Then her counselor reveals that her parents have withdrawn her enrollment, which automatically revokes her exchange nomination. Grace has seventy-two hours to restore it.
