Silas Shaw is left behind. Brushed aside by his father since his mother's funeral five years ago, he is finally sent to live with his cousins in Northern Maine. He soon realizes that this side of his family is different from what he is used to, but with his cousins, Emerson and Poe, Silas goes on a journey of self-discovery, coming to terms with a past which continues to haunt him. 

A huge East-Coast house. 
A girl with pink hair and a pack of cigarettes who might be able to read minds. 
A boy who doesn't know to cry and is coming to terms with his sexuality.
Two parents who are cheating on each other at the same time. 
A child struggling to survive in a place where she is considered an outsider. 
A boy with Aspergers Syndrome who hates the fact that he isn't a genius. 
Twins who are named after poets and have an odd fascination with the unknown.
A mystery.
A diary. 
A secret place in the woods. 

These are some things Silas will never forget.
