Carmen and Max live in a futuristic Oregon that is still very much like our own, but in a dimension where space is expanding at such a rate that stars have begun to disappear from the sky. The night before their last-first-day of high school, Carmen and Max go into the hills to look up at the last star in the sky and make a wish for change.

And change, it does. In a science-defying, history-making moment, a window to another world is opened where friends are still alive, where Carmen doesn't exist, and where Max’s would-be twin, Maxine needs them all more than ever. They are each given the opportunity of a lifetime to see beyond the known reality, find hope, accept change, and see their skies full of stars.
