After his parents die, Stephen Seibert, 13-years old, is forced to live with his uncle. Uncle Rick, a former jock, has little interest in the brainy Stephen, but dreams of developing Stephen’s older brother, Jonnie, into a great quarterback. All of this could be acceptable to Stephen. He doesn’t mind being ignored. Unfortunately, Luke, Stephen’s older cousin, has taken a sinister interest in him, forcing Steven to hide for most of the day. To make matters worse, Stephen senses another presence, something either supernatural or part of his mind breaking with reality. Little does he know, this presence will haunt him for years to come.
