Both boys want nothing more than to live normal lives, but their chance meeting sets them on a path of danger, discovery, and some difficult choices. If they reveal what they have learned, they risk not only their lives, but the stability of their world. If they keep the knowledge hidden, they will deny their own destinies and a chance to lead their people out of darkness.
