Desetiletá Deja nastupuje do páté třídy na nové škole. Doma je to těžké: Pop je pořád nemocný a smutný, máma je pořád v práci a Deja se neustále stará o svého bratříčka a sestru, zatímco Pop spí. Její nová škola je jiná než kdekoli jinde, kde byla Deja, a vzdělání z nedávné historie, které Deja získá, navždy změní její život a životy jejích přátel a rodiny.
Studenti si mohou vytvořit mapu postav, aby měli přehled o postavách ve hře Towers Falling od Jewella Parkera Rhodese a o tom, jak se v průběhu příběhu mění.
