When Thomas starts to realize that the whispers and "shadows" sweeping over rooms is more than he thinks, him and his mother are in for a big surprise. Being a normal 15 year old, Thomas enjoys spending time with his mom, Tina, and he finds her an excellent teacher. Tina is a licensed teacher, but when the school she taught at received a bomb threat, she thought it was best to become a homeschooling teacher, but is that the truth? Being home schooled, Thomas started to notice the little things he never payed attention to before. Thomas was never afraid of the dark, and his mothers shocking past allowed herself to grow up curious and fearless.
