Clearwater, South Carolina is the home of serene salt marshes, friendly neighbors and a science minded high school senior, Kaiulani Crisman.  As the daughter of the pastor of a mega church and granddaughter of the first Black District Court Judge, Kai is expected to succeed. As a matter of fact, her parents already have her life planned out for her.  But this descendant of Gullah slaves loves the adventure of being out in nature where she hears the heartbeat of her ancestors and the whispering flutter of dragonfly wings. While out in the field, Kai realizes that something isn't quite right.  The dragonflies have disappeared. When she and her friends try to unravel this mystery, they discover that a local Gullah farmer stands to lose his peach farm to the unscrupulous Mayor Saenz, a close friend of her father.  Will Kai take a stand for what's right even if it means hurting the ones she loves most?
