Peace. The definition of peace is freedom from disturbance; tranquility or a state or period in which there is no war or a war has ended. It is also something that 14 year old Zackary Hayes struggles to grasp. 

   Zack is different from most kids, even at a young age. He has always been quieter than most kids his age. He was different in many ways but one random summer day his world changed for what we could say the better. 

   Will he conquer the darkness of his strange past or will it come back to haunt him? Will he be able to learn that not everyone wants to hurt him? And what will it take for Zack to find his way home?
