Parker Gray leads a normal, home-schooled life. Or so he thinks. He begins noticing some odd things happening around the house and then hears his parents talking about him behind his back. Before he knows it, he's being shipped off to a boarding school he's never heard of and won't be able to come home for six years. Right as he starts to accept this, his parents drop him off at an abandoned subway station that is supposed to take him to this new school. The next thing he knows, Parker is being led into a world he didn't know even existed right alongside him. He learns amazing new things about himself and that someone he doesn't know has been keeping an eye on him.
