When she’s abruptly kicked out of her posh Berkeley Hills home by her father for her drinking, drugging, and general, all around acting out, and shipped across the Bay to live with her flaky birth mom in San Francisco, privileged seventeen-year-old party girl Sophie Weiss lands on her feet when she gets a summer job at a hip Grant Street art gallery. So far, so good . . . or so she thinks.  Then her whole, previously self-absorbed world shatters in an instant on one seemingly ordinary afternoon when a brief act of kindness to a young panhandler opens the door to the land of the lost girls, a diverse, multi-ethnic crew of street kids who haunt the shadows of Union Square.  Accepted as a friend after she dramatically proves herself worthy of their trust, Sophie begins to spend more and more time in the urban kingdom of the lost girls and soon discovers a sense of family she’s never felt before.To her growing horror, she also finds out something else.  A kind of evil she never knew existed has been preying on her new friends . . . and now it wants her, too.  Realizing she’s the only one who can save the lost girls, Sophie puts her life on the line and swings into action against the malevolent force stalking Union Square; a dark power torn from the scroll of tomorrow’s news feed.
