Two boys are thrown together during troubling times, and soon realize they have more in common than they first thought. They must piece their pasts together to solve mysteries of the present.
Life is very unfair to Tom, but it's the only life he has. Set during the time when many young men were shipping out to die in Southeast Asia, Braxton and Tom, very different in every way, discover they have one thing in common: their pasts. Brought together by providence, they soon learn about a series of tragic events from their childhoods that involve international espionage, money, and even murder. The mystery from 1952 has been set to come to its climax when Tom turns eighteen years old, near the end of his senior year, and the two boys are caught up in the middle of the shocking climax.
