If that all sounds scintillating, we can assure you: most folks agree. See, Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy aren't exactly human like the rest of us… or are they? And what does it even mean to be human in the first place? While they wrestle with that question themselves they'll also figure out just how important friendship and their memories of growing up together will be in the face of some seriously high stakes. Over time, they'll learn about their true (and dark) purpose in this funky world and why they have had such a special childhood. We don't want to spill all the beans here, so we'll just say this: Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy are in for a wild ride.
