Zed isn't like other children. He can't always control his temper, and finds himself isolated from those his own age. His home life isn't like other children's either. Although Zed knows he loves his parents, they don't always seem to care for him and more than once Zed has had to fend for himself.
When his parents disappear completely, and Zed finally seems to have a chance at happiness with a newfound friend, it could seem like a dream come true. But something continues to bother Zed.
Where exactly did his parents go? Why did they leave so suddenly, and without taking anything with them?
It might just have something to do with the old mirror his mother had brought home. It might just be down to Zed to save his parents now.
