Summary:
Since the "accident" that took her father's life, Aviva has lived with her emotionally distressed mother in a tiny apartment above the mikvah that serves the women of their Orthodox Jewish community. As problems with other girls at school arise, the dybbuk, a ghostly boy who makes himself visible only to Aviva, appears and does his best to cause trouble. The dybbuk's antics start to get worse and worse as her town experiences a frightening escalation of anti-Semitic violence and vandalism.
