Moonshine Singing Hawk is seventeen years old and the scientifically minded daughter of two hippies. She can't wait until she's old enough to change her name, become an archaeologist and travel the world, with absolutely no intentions of following in her hippy-dippy families footsteps or falling in love. Unfortunately, a new girl arrives in school who not only ruins her plans of being alone, but shatters her scientific view of the world and reveals that her family tree is not as peace loving as she was led to believe.
