Joshua Peters is just as quiet and sleepy as the town he lives in. Preferring to stay indoors and count the numbers are in everything he does, the only escapades he ever has are when his friends are pulling him out the door. He never sees much point to them, or to enthusiasm for life in general, until the day Ben Bailey climbs through his window and gives away a secret that plunges him into something exhilarating - and forbidden.
