Can you die of boredom? Sitting in her small den, surrounded by nothing that she can legitimately call "civilization" in a small town in North Dakota, that is the question that frequently crosses Ella's mind. Like a typical teenager, she longs for a life she doesn't have, dreaming of the extravagant world of Hollywood stars. But when her mother's extraordinary luck makes her wish come true, it doesn't take long for her to desperately want to take back that wish. As strange events begin to transpire, she realizes that wish fulfillment has its consequences. Left alone with millions of dollars while her family spirals down deep into the darkest hole, Ella's life is forever changed.
