Becky Finch never wanted to be special. Malcolm Chamber wanted something more. A destiny. When Becky is marked by an alien's touch, she'll stumble into a mystery she never wanted. A mystery that almost ripped apart both their parents' lives 12 years ago. She'll need the help of her eccentric young classmate, Malcolm, as she finds the power within herself to uncover the truth.
Following the disaster at the abandoned house, the bodies of Eustace and "the stranger" are examined while Becky lies in a hospital bed, wishing she could forget everything that happened. Malcolm knows there's something bigger going on, though, and is eager to investigate.
