Like most of his family, Aspen Quick steals private things from people, things that make them who they are, in order to make his life easier. He might steal someone's sobriety so he can drive home after a party or he might steal his crush's desire for his best friend. He's never really worried how he could be affecting people. But that changes when he spends the summer in his grandmother's hometown and discovers just how deep the Quick family magic can go and what they are willing to do to keep it secret.
