A teenage girl named Rae, whose mother suffered from mental instability, fears that she is going insane when she begins to hear voices--yet, there may be another explanation entirely, and her life may be in danger.
Rae Voight, suddenly afflicted with the ability to hear the thoughts of students as they walk the halls of Sanderson Prep, rushes to find one particular voice that keeps saying she must die.
Rae has the ability to know a person's thoughts simply by touching their fingerprints, but her gift may cost her her life when she learns of a plot to destroy her and others like her.
Rae, a teenage girl who involuntarily receives the thoughts of the people whose fingerprints she touches, searches for her kidnapped friend Jesse and finds the culprit is directly involved in her past--specifically the loss of her mother sixteen years ago.
