Sixteen-Year-Old Jacob Black has been getting headaches since the age of eight. And the young teen wouldn't be able to tell you why. He knows it has something to do with the large hole in his memory. But that's it. He's asked his dad about it, but not even he could give him an answer. So Jacob left it alone, for as long as he could. Till he meets a pale face that seems to cling like a leech to his best friend.
