Description

Seeth--a bored punk rocker looking for excitement. Miranda--an air-head beauty who lives to shop. And Kerwin--a nerd who just wants to fit in. They're not friends, and they don't even like each other. But now they are the key to saving the universe--and are on the adventure of a lifetime.
