Rayne is an average high school girl. She gets good grades, has troublemakers for friends, and... a mystery filled past and ancestry. Rayne has heard stories of her ancestors and couldn't believe them, no matter how much she wanted to, until a large new family of eight very strange people came to town. The Montés. Four of which transfer to Rayne's small high school and two to her little brothers. Upon meeting her new peers, strange things begin to go down around Rayne and her brother, Oliver. She has weird dreams of the towns' new family and even more bizarre people, and starts seeing frightening visions, or are they simply hallucinations? Her brother is having dreams of the past, present, and supposed future, along with knowing everything that's happened to Rayne, including the things she doesn't remember. When an accident occurs, Rayne has more strange dreams and they are far less pleasant. The same night she returns home from the hospital, she is awakened and kidnaped, and the kidnapers' leader isn't happy with the towns' newest family. What did the Montés do that angered him? And why does he seem to follow Rayne? What will the new visitors do to get back at them? Or does he have a different interest he'd rather investigate? As Rayne's feelings for the two Montés brothers grow, the changes she's going through become even more painful and uncontrollable. And when her kidnapper comes to pay her a friendly visit, Rayne discovers more than she wanted too, and it won't be the last time. To Rayne's complete and utter surprise, the Montés and the other band of newcomers are not the only things that start showing up that she didn't think existed. When Brom, a "family friend", swoops in and proves that there is more in her world than what Rayne could see, Rayne starts trying to "see" what she wasn't able to before. But could it be too much for her to handle along with all the disturbing changes happening to her? With everything that's happened and what's to come, Rayne begins asking herself if the tales could be true. And more importantly, what she has to do with them, or if the legends are leaving something important out. Will Rayne be able to handle the pressure placed on her, not only by the Montés boys and the leader of the invading band of kidnapers but by an entirely new world? Will she be able to tackle the problems that arise from the one thing she once wanted so badly to exist? Yet, the one thing she worries about most of all... Will she be able to cope with the truth about herself?
