Isabel is having an existential crisis. She's three years into high school, and everything she's learned has only shaken her faith in humanity. Late one night, she finds herself drawn to a niche corner of the interneta forum whose members believe firmly in one thing: that there are indeed people out in the world quietly performing impossible acts of heroism.
