A teenager finds her world turned upside down when she discovers the disturbing truth lurking in her sleepy Danish town.

17-year-old Emma has always felt like an outsider in the town she grew up in: Middelbo, the town that got hit by a meteor 17 years ago; its only claim to fame is that it once got smacked by a rock, and that's what makes the inhabitants of Middelbo proud--except for Emma. And when she finds out that the story about the meteor might be fake, she becomes determined to reveal all the lies. Emma believes it's all about a small unimportant provincial town trying to make itself more interesting, but reality turns out to be much more complex.
