In a chance encounter, two unlikely friends meet, slowly forming a bond that couldn't be broken by even the greatest distance. Tobias Eaton, a boy who has experienced the earthen version of hell for the last almost sixteen years of his life, including watching his mothers life sputter into non-existence before him, has found himself in quite the predicament. After fleeing his deranged father, the cause of his woes, he ends up without a place to call home, leaving him cold and starving on the streets. Beatrice Prior, daughter of the ever successful Natalie and Andrew Prior, sister to the genius that is acknowledged state wide, Caleb Prior, finds herself, once again, alone in the monstrous house, that is so often only inhabited by only her. These two people, lost in their own dilemmas, meet in an odd, but wonderfully coincidental way.
