Now 12 years old, he has spent all of his life in hiding. When the Government seizes his family s land to develop new housing, his life changes dramatically. Once able to play in the woods by his home, he is now confined to his attic bedroom. Peeking through a vent, he catches a glimpse of a child s face in a nearby window. Could that face belong to another third? Searching for answers, Luke faces the greatest danger of his life.
