Strange things are happening to strange people in the town of Grissom. Moody giant Parker Kingsley is suddenly becoming more and more concerned about the well-being of the sickly, enigmatic, infamous alleged murderer, Quilla Sanders, coincident with the consistently intensifying ache in his back and increasing intensity of deja vú and vengeful malice. For her part, Quilla Sanders has her plate full with her unwelcome, strangely specific prescience and the fetters of her past, but there's more to come. Her already strange dreams are becoming even stranger, often visited by a huge, winged, beautiful yet monstrous creature with glowing green eyes. And her classmate Parker Kingsley seems to know more about her than he should. As an insidious plan goes awry, blue clouds repeatedly cloak the sky, mysterious creatures begin to lurk in the shadows and Death himself comes face to face, the two teenagers - unwilling soldiers in a sinister war - must walk the thin line between the worldly and supernatural, all the while discovering that they aren't who they thought themselves to be.
