Nellie Johnson witnessed her mother's death in a fire a little over a year ago, and the guilt haunts her, since her mom went into the fire to save her. After that, her father left them.
Nellie lives with her older brothers, Nicolas and Nathan, her twin sister, Naomi, and her younger brother, Nolan. They're barely scraping by to make a living and to try to live normal lives, without CPS getting involved and separating them, even if all these siblings know how to do is fight.
Nellie knows how pathetic she is. Shy, timid, afraid of literally everything, and with an anxiety disorder.
But even so, after one faithful thunderstorm, a chaotic and abnormal one, Nellie ends up in a coma for over a week after being struck right in the heart by stray lightning - green lightning.
And she wakes up with electrifying powers.
But she's still the same scaredy cat as before, so how is Nellie supposed to handle her newfound powers?
Contains: extreme anxiety, panic attacks, bullying, violence, minor suicide intent
