Kit Bradley is an art student - and part-time cat burglar. But that's not her only secret. There's also her hiding place on the roof of her small town diner, her crush on (and history with!) her roommate's boyfriend, and her guilt about her mother's recent death. All those secrets get pushed aside when Kit's roomies take in "Mousy" Martha as a new housemate. They soon realize that Martha is not a typical student. She's not into parties, she only eats cereal, and, srangest of all, she has plenty of money but no job or family. Things get even stranger when Martha disappears without a trace, and Kit is forced to put together a search party. But when word of Martha's mysterious disappearance gets out a media feeding frenzy ensues, threatening to eat their hometown alive. As if this isn't enough, Kit's ex-boyfriend is back on the scene, adding to her anxiety. Kit suddenly goes from living in the moment to rushing through her days. When she finally slows down to catch her breath, what she discovers may change her life forever.
