The plot revolves around Jax Epoch, a normal modern-day high school student from New York. Through a series of accidents and moments of poor judgement, she ends up accused of bringing items from a number of fantasy realms into the real world, and thus causing the fantasy realms and the real world to leak into one another, causing havoc and destruction for all realms involved. Most importantly, she is accused of releasing a creature called the Quicken, which must now be captured and contained.
