Skye Nicksonâs world changed forever when her dad went on the run with her brother, Finn. Itâs been four years without Finnâs jokes, four years without her fatherâs old soul music, and four years of Skye filling in as Rent-a-Finn on his MIA birthdays for their mom. Finnâs birthday is always difficult, but at least Skye has her best friends, Reece and Jax, to lean on, even if Reece has started acting too cool for them.
But this year is different because after Finnâs birthday, they get a call that heâs finally been found. Tall, quiet, and secretive, this Finn is nothing like the brother she grew up with. He keeps taking late-night phone calls and losing his new expensive gifts, and he doesnât seem to remember any of their inside jokes or secrets.
As Skye tries to make sense of it all through the lens of her old Polaroid camera, she starts to wonder: Could this Finn be someone else entirely? And if everyone else has changed, does it mean that Skye has to change too?
