Just before his sixteenth birthday, Michael DiSanto’s younger brother, Stevie, disappears off their front lawn while playing catch. In the few seconds it took Michael to run inside for money for the ice cream truck, Stevie vanished. The police and everyone else thinks he just ran off, but Michael knows that’s impossible. Later that day, Stevie returns, although he is acting strange, like a different person, although he’s always been different, especially that weird super power he has.

When more Asian boys begin disappearing, Michael can’t bear the thought of their suffering and takes it on himself to search for them. However, as he finds, his life has been irrevocably changed by Stevie’s kidnap and return and the mystery is not over. In fact, the answers he seeks are dangerously closer and his brother’s superpower seems to be transferrable. Which is a good thing. He’s going to need it…
