Echo White and Marc Kameron have been best friends since they were toddlers sent to the same orphanage. Both of them have been separated and put in and out of foster homes, only to be sent back to the Home and be reunited once again. Everyone can see how inseparable they are, even their soon-to-be adoptive parents Mr. and Mrs. Ray, who realize the duo no longer choose to be separated from each other.
Adopting the both of them was a hesitant choice for the couple with their own daughter at home. Taking the two instead of only one will definitely be a challenge, but the parents take it head on.
Marc and Echo have to deal with moving to a new town, but they at least have each other now. They only know how to rely on each other and they trust no one else.
But, when Marc meets Keegan, everything changes. They develop a friendship like no other, especially since Marc decides to join Keegan's band. And when Keegan starts to have feelings for Echo, things become unbalanced...

Things changed, though. They found a dead body on our property and everyone scrambled to lock the doors and bar the windows. The normal kids at school all started to edge away from us, from me in particular. They called us witches and devil worshippers. They were scared they might be next. I couldn't keep my nose out of where it didn't belong and then everyone was involved in the mystery.
