*Spoilers*
Six young "irregularities" are being held in a government facility nicknamed the Playroom, but it turns out the Playroom isn't safe - an employee is secretly working for the Collector, and attempts to kidnap the kids while transporting them to a safer location. They overpower him and then they're on their own: Omar (a yeti), Newt (alien), Jaali (werebear), Sylvie (will-o-the-wisp), Maggie (tentacle-haired), and Clarice (selkie). They go to Newt's dad in Washington, D.C. for help, but he sends them packing; they find some other irregularities and help two rival groups reach detente by promising to go look for their missing members, who headed to Washington state to a place they call the Sanctuary....but is it? Partly by bus, partly on foot, frequently helped by other "irregularities," and pursued all the while by a group in a van called F.R.E.A.K.I.S.H., they rest for a while with a family of irregularities but ultimately decide to continue to the sanctuary...which turns out to be the home of the Collector, an evil creature who drains the irregularities to prolong his own life. The team works together to overpower him (and they find Jaali's dad, who has been held captive there for years!) and decide to make the place a true sanctuary.
There are glimmers of romance between Omar and Sylvie; Newt comes out as nonbinary.
