Carlie is sick of skating, and doesn't want to do it anymore. She just wants to go to school, like every other normal kid her age. She can't get her parents to listen. All they seem to care about is the Olympics next month. They'll never understand, but she knows one person who will. She runs away in search for her free spirited uncle, and finds him living in the small town of Eagle Harbor, MI. She finally gets what she wants when her uncle convinces her parents into allowing her to stay with him and go to school there. Now, she's free to live like every other normal teenage kid her age. While there, she meets Zach and Julie, who only want what Carlie so desperately left behind. Carlie soon realizes that being normal also means being different. Soon, she must return to the life she left behind, and worries that her differences will cost her the only friends she's ever had.
