Samson has been an only child for nearly a year. On what seems like an ordinary day, he finally plucks up the courage to visit his sister, Samantha's grave, hoping to find some form of acceptance. Instead, he meets Galatea, the new girl in his class-a girl who will lead him not just into danger, but toward the truth about his sister's death, no matter how deep they have to dig. As they unravel a mystery far more sinister than they expected, they find themselves caught in an experiment with hidden agendas. Will Samson escape this tangled web and overcome his guilt, or will he fall flat on the pavement like a flightless bird?
