Jem is an ordinary, high school student, except that when she looks at someone, she sees their number. That is, she sees the exact date that they're going to die. This truth has kept her from getting close to anyone throughout her life, and it is a secret she has kept from everyone. Her avoidance tactic is demolished once she lets down her guard and befriends Spider, a classmate who's death date is mere weeks away. After running from a disaster together, which Jem predicts based on everyone's death dates being the same day, they become objects of suspicion in the eyes of the law. They run away together on a cross-country escape. The book is a fast-paced, interesting adventure that leaves the reader wondering if Jem can change the fate of her new friend, Spider.
