Hex doesn’t know why he does the things he does—why he sometimes stands up in class to look out the window or ask an unrelated question. He also doesn’t know why he threw the rock that day in the woods. He didn’t mean for the girl to fall and break her arm. But he’s blamed anyway. Enraged at how unfair life is, Hex runs into the woods and finds himself in a strange clearing where a strange old woman offers him a deal: she’ll rid the world of those who wronged him. All he has to do is accept. But what Hex doesn’t know is that someone else has been offered the same deal.

Hex never meant for the girl to follow him and his friend Tommo into the woods. He never meant for her to fall off the rope swing and break her arm. When the finger of blame is pointed at him, Hex runs deep into the woods and his fierce sense of injustice leads him to a strange clearing in the woods—a clearing that has never been there before—where an old lady in a cottage offers him a deal. She’ll rid the world of those who wronged him and Hex can carry on his life with them all forgotten and as if nothing ever happened.
