Fourteen-year-old Shania lives in a "meticulously curated disaster zone," but her mess isn't due to laziness, it's a shield. Beneath her "personal brand of organized chaos" lies a paralyzing fear of the invisible. When her anxiety manifests as the Germ Golem, a physical, pulsating mass of grime and contamination, Shania’s house begins to feel like it’s actively trying to make her sick. To survive the Golem's "grimy grip," she must face the one thing more terrifying than the germs: the truth that she cannot control the world around her.
