Anna Marie has just been fired for the third time. This time, she was fired from a bakery for dressing weird: She looks like a Goth girl to the extreme, her shock of white hair contrasting her head-to-toe black garb, her face the only skin she chooses to reveal. She's all alone in Jackson, Mississippi, having left her hometown and her crazy strict Aunt Carrie when Anna Marie accidentally put her first real boyfriend, Cody, in a coma as they made out. She destroyed both of their lives with a kiss. Her skin, her touch, is death.
