Kümneaastane Winnie Foster on oma elust tüdinud. Winnie, kes on väga tõsiste vanematega ainus laps, unistab sageli põgenemisest. Ühel päeval kohtab ta metsas olles poissi, kes joob allikast vett. Ta ei teadnud, et see juhuslik kohtumine muudab tema elu igaveseks.

LOJAALSUSE
The main theme of the novel is immortality. The Tucks will never age, they will never die. Time truly doesn’t mean anything to them. When Winnie was given the choice to live forever or not, she chose not to. Would you have made that same choice?
Winnie is extremely loyal to the Tuck family. One example of this is when she insists that she wasn’t kidnapped by them. Another example is when she takes a big risk by offering to pretend to be Mae in jail so the family can have more time to run away.
