Sometimes you need to go to the dark side to see the light.

After the sudden death of her father, sixteen-year-old Joey Javitts is sent to stay with her grandparents while her author mother promotes her latest novel. Joey promptly falls for the beguiling goth boy next door, Victor, and is transformed by him and his merry band of misfits in black. A coming-of-age story about the sometimes painful—and often entertaining—search for identity and love in adolescence.
