The novel follows Minnie, an adrift college freshman in Austin, Texas, who discovers a boy band called HOURglass and the online forums that worship them. Minnie pours everything into her new fandom.

When a scandal threatens to expose her favorite bandmember, Halo, to harm, she activates as the only one who can save him.
