For Leo Finch, starting high school should be a chance to move on.
Months after a deadly gymnasium collapse shook his small Indiana community, life is slowly returning to normal. There are new friendships to make, relationships to figure out, and all the ordinary complications of being a teenager. For Leo, there's also something nobody else knows: he can move and manipulate objects with his mind.
It's an ability he's grown comfortable keeping to himself, something that makes the world a little easier to navigate when things don't go his way.
But while Leo settles into his freshman year, the questions surrounding the collapse refuse to disappear. Investigators continue searching for answers, old memories resurface, and the consequences of that day reach further into the lives around him.
As the people closest to Leo struggle with problems of their own, he begins to discover that the world doesn't always revolve around what he wants.
And some things are easier to change than to take responsibility for.
