Elise can't stop staring at her first foster child. Simon is only six, with wide lavender eyes and dark curls that make him disarmingly beautiful. But he doesn't talk. When she asks him why, he says, "No one likes the things I say." She assures him she's different; she wants to know. When he finally talks she understands why he has bounced through several foster homes in two years. Simon speaks of unfathomable things-things he sees that others don't... of another Simon who tells him things... of things to come, that then happen... and things that no one could possibly know, and yet, he does. Is he psychic or psychotic? Clairvoyant or schizophrenic? She doesn't know, but she can't resist him. He only wants one thing-to find the man who knows where his mother is. The hunt soon makes them the hunted.
