Summary:"Nia's spent her whole life taking a back seat to her older sister, Maeve, who's expected to inherit their mother's Seer powers: the ability to see the future through dreams, passed down to one woman in each generation. But when Nia, a trans girl, starts having visions of the future, she must suppress her powers to protect her relationship with her sister. Soon Nia's dreams become impossible to ignore, and she has no choice but to distance herself as she navigates her new reality. Taking off for Metropolis. Nia is quickly swept up in the bustling city and, guided by her dreams, connects with a group of queer girls who feel more like sisters than her own. As Nia starts to discover her powers may be more than just a burden, she's given a choice: accept her new responsibility as a Seer or give it all up for a chance at normalcy" --
