Ha-na Lee may have been a Kook but she certainly didn't act like one.

From a young age, Ha-na had despised her title. She hated how snooty and stuck up her peers were, how they acted like they were above everyone else just because of where they came from. But most of all, Ha-na hated how trapped she felt. She felt like she was stuck in one giant bubble and if she didn't find a way to get out of her pristine little bubble soon, she'd never be able to get free. Ha-na didn't let that stop her from rebelling though, often getting into trouble back at Kildare Academy. She didn't hold the record there of most detentions for nothing, you know. And when she wasn't causing trouble at school, she was sneaking out and going to parties in places she didn't belong.

It'd be at one of those parties where she'd meet JJ Maybank. 

JJ proudly hated Kooks, despite being friends with one. But Kiara Carrera was cool, way down to earth and far too nice to even be like them. And when he met Ha-na Lee, the one who drank beer like it was water and had superior taste in music, it was further proof that maybe not all Kooks were so terrible. Kiara vouched for the girl and soon enough, she joined the fold. Although Ha-na had grown close with all of them, she was the closest with JJ and Pope Heyward, the two boys meaning the world to Ha-na.

Whenever he and his old man would get into fights, she'd let him stay with her. He'd climb in through her bedroom window as always and Ha-na made extra space for him on her bed... although Ha-na always felt tempted to kick him off whenever he'd make some sort of dirty joke.  They'd bond over having terrible dads (hers may not have hit her but ever since her mom had died just years before, he tightened his leash on her as much as he could to keep her close) and fantasizing about what their lives would be like years from now. 

And then there was Pope, who acted like the silver lining in Ha-na's dreary life. He was sweet, soft spoken, nerdy as hell but cute too. Ha-na had to be the one to look after Pope and protect him from her more stuck-up associates, determined to make sure he'd make it out of Kildare County with that golden ticket of a scholarship. And although Pope felt excited to leave, he almost felt reluctant to go. He didn't want to leave his friends behind, especially not JJ and Ha-na. Pope liked them both more than he cared to admit, keeping his feelings bottled up for the sake of protecting their friendship.

However, when they find themselves in the midst of a wild treasure hunt straight out of a movie, they'll soon have no choice but to figure out what all three of them mean to each other. And fast.
