Synopsis
Jaimie has grown up in a large family with its own magic and customs, and now she is starting college and learning how the ordinary world works. Her roommate Kim hopes to leave her high-school reputation behind. Jaimie soon realises that a viri, a soul-eating creature that feeds on emotions, is hunting Kim. Together with three of Jaimie's cousins, the two girls try to catch the creature and drive it away, while Jaimie balances her family's secrets against her new friendship.
