Twelve-year-old Fern feels invisible. She’s starting middle school, and with it come all the usual challenges. Her dad is always busy planning how to increase traffic to the family business. Her mom is constantly going off to meditate. Her sister, Sarah, who's taking a "gap year" after high school, is too busy finding ways not to work. Her brother, Holden, is too focused on his new "friend" to pay attention to her. And then there's Charlie: three years old, a "surprise" baby, and the center of everyone's world. Ran, Fern's best friend, is always calm, always positive. But when their lives are unexpectedly turned upside down, Fern feels responsible for the event that wrenches the family.
