Cassel is the only member of his family who isn’t a curse worker. That means he’s the only one who isn’t a criminal. Except for the fact that he killed his best friend Lila three years ago, and still doesn’t remember why…

Now he’s sleepwalking, his school is trying to kick him out, his family is paying way more interest in him than they ever have, and he’s not altogether sure he can con his way out of this one.

And then there’s the cat.
