Christina is bored. She is not allowed to leave her house except for brief periods for fresh air. She has a governess to care for her since her mother was blown up in a mine/laboratory accident. She is not even allowed to attend school. She does all her lessons on the computer, except for music. She has Mrs. Lisowsky. She watches local school kids and orphans through her telescope. She watches Taft, one of the orphans escape, and she takes him back to the house through a tunnel she has found. Together they discover that her mother is not dead. She has been sending notes in test tubes, and Danny, Taft's friend, finds one.
