✦ Synopsis

Bounced between foster homes since the age of seven, Jessica knows better than to set down roots. Most of the kids at her new Michigan high school think shes a witch anyway (because, you know, goth). The only one who gives her the time of day is geeky Oscar, who wants to recruit her fashion skills for his amateur cosplay group. But Jess is fine showing off her looks to her Insta fansuntil a woman claiming to be her biological mother barges into her DMs. Jess was claimed by the state when her biomoms mental illness made her unstable. While their relationship is far from traditional, blood ties are hard to break. Theres only one problem: Jess cant reunite with her mom in New York City without a bunch of paperwork and she worries her social worker will never approve the trip. Thats when she remembers Oscars cosplay group, which is aiming for that big convention in New York . . . So, Jess joins Oscars teamwith every intention of using them to get to her mom. But her plan gets complicated when she discovers that, actually, cosplay is pretty great, and so is having friends. And Oscar, who Jess thought was just a shy nerd, can be as gallant and charming as the heroes he pretends to be. As the big convention draws near, Jess will have to decide whether or not chasing a dream of family is worth risking the family shes built for herself.
