The story of Odette, a schizophrenic girl caught between a cold reality in an abusive foster home and a bizarre set of fantasies where she is considered a god by her creations. But the intentions of the inhabitants of her psyche, divided into two warring factions, are even less clear than those of the people she encounters in her real world of school and never-ending therapy, which is ruled by her charismatic and psychotic best friend Anna. Her ability to distinguish between the two becomes gradually worse as her real life deteriorates and the complexities of her hallucinations increase. She finds herself both unwilling to choose a side and unable to influence the decisions of the two faction's leaders; Alexander, a cunning and manipulative High Priest, and Amelia, a ruthless assassin, who both wish to use her as a pawn to further their own goals.
