In the near future, a few young women manifest extraordinary skills called "Shine". Each girl's capability differs. Some develop extraordinary mental abilities. Some become in physical form strong. Others have powers that defy information. But the world will not adopt these Shines. It doubts them. Aura was only trying to use her curing powers to help a tiny child. However when she Shined, something travelled horribly incorrect - and Seattle was ruined. Inside the aftermath of this disaster, the federal government institutionalizes Shines in "rehabilitative centers". Aura is sent to the Transforming Your Light island rehabilitation - but to her it appears more like a jail. The other Shines hate her. People running the area are out to get her. And she feels certain more is going on here than "group grope" and twelve-step programs. However when she tumbles onto the awful secret under the rehabilitation - she realizes precisely how great the danger to her and all the other Shines is really. Aura resolves to escape before it's too overdue. But she can only just do this if she organizes the Shines, persuades these to interact, and overcomes the deadly opposition she only scarcely understands.
