Four years ago, Jamie Hayes left California and his best friend Lena behind. Four years in Chicago taught Jamie one thing: some kinds of lonely don't have a cure.

But California does. California has sun that doesn't feel suffocating. California has Lena Vance next door—best friend, fierce protector, the only person who's ever made Jamie feel safe. California has magical girl anime, League of Legends at 2 AM, and a squad that might just have room for one more.

Jamie's been wearing a costume that doesn't fit for as long as they can remember. Coming home might be the first step toward finding out what happens when she finally takes it off.
