That's all Ghost (real name Castle Cranshaw) has ever known. But Ghost has been running for the wrong reasons it all started with running away from his father, who, when Ghost was a very little boy, chased him and his mother through their apartment, then down the street, with a loaded gun, aiming to kill.

Anya clearly loves them but struggles with her desire to assimilate into the culture around her yet she can't entirely run away from her heritage. Other characters include Siobhan, Anya's tomboyish school chum; Sean, Anya's crush; and, of course, Emily.
