Mia lives on the island of Tuanaki, somewhere between here and there, in the middle of nowhere. She doesn’t understand the world she lives in. Strangely, she is the only child in her community. Another peculiarity: the fifty-six women are perfectly identical, and so are the fifty-six men. As for Mia, while her figure resembles that of the women, her eyes are the same blue as the men’s.

The older she gets, the stronger her desire to understand becomes. Faced with the silence of her tribe, the Lones, she decides to search for the truth.

But where to begin? By defying all the rules laid down by the twelve Elders. Her options are three: the mountain, the sea, the forest.

Mia sets out on a journey that will lead her from one revelation to another, deepening her confusion about the world around her.
