Strange things are happening to Howell. An unknown blind boy saves him from a group of school bullies. Then two unfamiliar girls enter Howell’s life, saving him from even further dangers. They, like the blind boy, insist that all will meet again soon. When and why? Howell wonders. Howell is also confronted by a frightening male figure who determines that he, Howell, is not the one. For what? Those questions are set aside when Howell learns that his mother is missing following a car crash in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Howell’s eccentric uncle insists that only he, Howell, can find and rescue his mother. How, from what and why him? All is confusion for Howell.
