Xenia è venuta al mondo con una capriola, Alma ha il manto bianco. Si sono scelte, eppure un giorno la gatta trova la porta aperta e scappa di casa. Xenia e Leone, il suo migliore amico, escono a cercarla e s’imbattono nell’eremita, una donna che parla per enigmi e sembra sapere dove si trova Alma. Le sue indicazioni guideranno i due ragazzi in un’avventura tra il regno dei vivi e quello dei morti, tra vicoli, argini e palazzi da attraversare correndo a perdifiato.

Her name is unimportant. She is her job: a liquidator. Deep in debt for cyborg modifications, the agent eliminates whatever target she's given. It's a relatively simple job—until now.

After the death of their abusive patriarch, sixteen-year-old Desiree "Dez" Sarpe and her family moved to the high plains of Wyoming for a fresh start. Life is quieter now, but peace doesn't put food on the table. Unable to get a job, Dez reluctantly stays home—before following a track in the long grass and finding Granny Iyaga. Granny hires Dez for housecleaning, and also begins teaching her peculiar things. School starts, winter approaches, and for the first time, Dez begins to relax.
