When 11-year-old Jimny Adams falls into a river in 1987, it should have been the end of her. Instead, she is saved – but she doesn’t come back quite the same. Now, whenever music plays, Jimny can hear the thoughts of everyone around her. Previously boisterous and chaotic, Jimny is growing into a young woman who wants only silence, and to be seen as normal. While her ability sees her shifting the trajectories of people’s lives for the better, she can’t reveal how she knows why a fire is about to start, or why someone needs to keep their pants on after a party, and the town of Possible Springs doesn’t know what to make of her. It’s already the kind of place that barely cares when a teenage girl named Shannon vanishes – and then feels wildly out of its depth when more kids start to disappear.
Somewhere in town, there’s a voice that knows what’s happened. But Jimny, quashing her skills just to stay sane in a loud world, can’t hear it. And it’ll take everything she has to believe in herself enough to listen.
Compelling and original, this is a cinematic, small-town epic about a girl who might just be the next main character of your heart.
