But when Jarrod, his former best friend, suddenly moves back home, Aidan begins to see clearly for the first timeânot only to feelings that go beyond mere friendship, but to a world that is haunted by the stories of his past. Visions from this invisible world come to him unbidden: a great-grandfather on the field of battle; his own father, stumbling upon an unspeakable tragedy; and a mysterious young boy, whose whispered words may be at the heart of the curse that holds Aidanâs family in its grip.
