Gem Echols, a nonbinary Seminole teen residing in the small town of Gracie, Georgia, is renowned for being their peers' queer awakening. They rely heavily on charm to conceal the anxious mess they are beneath, as only another trans kid, Enzo, in Brooklyn, knows their authentic self. However, Enzo is unaware of Gem's dreams, haunting visions of magic and violence that feel too real.

Enter Willa Mae Hardy, the mysterious new girl in town who acts like she and Gem are old companions and seems to know things about them they've never shared with anyone else. When Gem is attacked by a stranger claiming to be the Goddess of Death, Willa Mae saves their life and finally provides some answers. She and Gem are reincarnated gods who have known and loved each other across lifetimes. However, Gem, or at least who Gem used to be, has not always been the most benevolent deity. They have made many enemies in the pantheon, enemies who, like the Goddess of Death, will continue to pursue them.

Fortunately, they still have Enzo. But as worlds collide and the past catches up with the present, Gem will discover that everyone has something to hide. Gem's journey will be filled with surprises, revelations, and dangerous challenges as they navigate the intricate web of reincarnation, friendship, and betrayal. Will they be able to overcome their past mistakes and save themselves and their loved ones from the impending danger? Only time will tell.
