Genre: Young Adult (15+) Paranormal Thriller
Skate punks, kleptomaniacs, clairvoyant visions and reincarnation.
16 year old skater Mike Evans has issues. His alcoholic father's unemployed and he's stuck living in a white-trash trailer park after the foreclosure of their family home. The last two years have sucked royally, and to top it all off, he's plagued by clairvoyant visions of strange-grisly events that always come true. Mike loses his best friend, ex-girlfriend treats him like a leper, and his only friend Anita wants to get in his pants––he's clueless. Since his mother died at birth and his father doesn't give a damn, Mike's on his own.
His fortunes begin to change after helping a 14 year old girl named Nadia, the victim of a hit and run on the highway. An intimate bond is forged through an intense night of ministering to her injuries. He suspects Nadia is homeless and an unusual relationship develops as she sneaks into his room nightly for a place to stay.
Mike lives a double life, daylight hours at school, new girlfriend, skating, part-time job, and then his nights spent with Nadia. She's a secret friend, giving him money, listening to his problems when no one else will.
Strangeness abounds as they develop a mutual obsession. Nadia is not an average little girl, but Mike ignores the obvious signs of danger.
Struggling to avert another vision of gruesome death, he must face the evidence that his secret friend is much more than she seems.
