L'estate avvampa a Palermo, la terra è arida e i bacini a secco. Dai rubinetti, come sempre in agosto, l'acqua scende appena, sui marciapiedi l'immondizia fermenta rendendo l'aria irrespirabile, e a nulla servono preghiere e invocazioni a santa Rosalia affinché faccia piovere. I poveri si muovono nei bassi come fantasmi nella polvere, i più abbienti hanno già lasciato i quartieri alti per le loro ville al mare.

Tutti gli anni, dal sette dicembre al sette gennaio, Palermo è in preda al demone del gioco: aristocratici, borghesi e modesti cittadini, giovani, vecchi e bambini sono vittime della medesima febbre. Sul tavolo verde si impegnano esigui risparmi o ricchi patrimoni nell'irrinunciabile rito collettivo delle feste invernali. Marò Pajno sta attraversando un periodo difficile, e il freddo che sente dentro non è legato solo alla pioggia che affligge senza sosta la città.

Saga, a skeptical 35-year-old woman, consults a past-life regression therapist to confront the nebulous fear she carries. Why is she so intent on sabotaging her own life? During the initial session, Saga travels back to 1975 to rural Iowa where she embodies 18-year-old Fiona Dolan, a farm girl who has always felt like an outsider, even in her large, Irish Catholic family. Fiona has been labeled as a storyteller, but this is just another way to say they think she is a liar. Even her own mother thinks she's too smart for her own good.

Sadie Wen is perfect on paper: school captain, valedictorian, and a "pleasure to have in class." It's not easy, but she has a trick to keep her model-student smile plastered on her face at all times: she channels all her frustrations into her email drafts.

All her most vehemently worded emails are directed at her infuriating cocaptain, Julius Gong.
