Running away from Whiregates is easy. After all, it's not a prison. Erin and her running-away friend January, do it all the time. This time is different, though. This time they're going down the river-the dark, deep river with it's powerful currents and swirling eddies. They are looking for freedom, sweet freedom, however dangerous the journey.

But this journey takes them somewhere they never expected to go. In the slithery mud of the Black Middens, they find a strange girl called Heaven Eyes. It is HEaven Eyes who will help these damaged children find the tiny corner of paradise they lost. For only HEaven Eyes can see through all the darkness in the worl to the joy that lies beneath.
