When his mother is deployed to the Middle East with the US Army, Marc Gomez finds himself alone in Central Europe. Abandoned in a "Hungarian hellhole of a boarding school," his only friends are a small assortment of cross-cultural misfits with whom he has nothing in common--except the English language.

When things couldn't get any

worse, Marc's roommate commits

suicide, at least that's what the

police say. But Marc's odd group

of friends see something else.

Can you see what they see? And

will their unique ability to pick

up on clues prove more costly

than anyone imagined?
