Jinx Kline is a withdrawn, sharp-tongued high schooler who values her personal space a little too much. By hoping her absent seatmate wouldn't show up, she ironically honors her name and jinxes herself, because not only does he show up, but he even takes over her desk! Roque Morel, a new student, turns her carefully maintained routine into a petty classroom squabble that opens the door to the bonds and struggles of everyone around them. Just when she wanted to avoid all of that until graduation!
