Imagine never wanting to look into a person's eyes or ever get close to anyone. Jem has a special power. Some people might say it is a gift, while others might say it is a curse. When Jem looks into a person's eyes a number pops up in her head. That number is the date that person will die. She never tells anyone when they are destined to die.

In order to avoid getting close to anyone, Jem stay an outsider at school. She will not get close to anyone. The only person she gets sort of close to is another outsider named Spider. When Jem and Spider are seen running from an explosion the police want to question them. Jem and Spider go on the run. She knows that Spider will die in a few days and tries to do whatever she can to make sure that doesn't happen. Can she save Spider in time or his he destined to die on that date.
