Avis Ruth lives a normal life - at least normal to her. She's just moved to a new Station called Ogoi, the center for The Creation. The Creation runs everything - from the jobs they work to the food they eat - and difference is shunned. Avis is ready to start over, things didn't go so smoothly in her last station. But trouble always seems to follow her. Unfortunately for her, Avis's red streaks in her hair don't help. She has tried everything from bleach to mud, and nothing will get rid of this color. And in this bland world of sameness, she stands out like a sore thumb. Soon, Avis meets another girl with lilac purple streaks - Miki Flora. Miki's always been an outsider too and their combined trouble could lead to a new beginning or a horrific ending.
