Dan is a loner...but not necessarily by choice. As a senior new to a high school after bouncing around from place to place to hide his bizarre past, Dan becomes close friends (maybe a little too close?) with Mazie. For the first time, Dan struggles with keeping his secret, but just can't seem to find a way to tell her that he is really older than he appears to be. Why? It's all because of a top-secret government experiment gone wrong! Dan has been studied, poked, and prodded by doctors and psychologists throughout his life but he's on the verge of becoming "normal" for the first time. Dan is multi-talented and wise beyond his years, having been around longer than most seniors. Mazie is artistic, athletic, and biracial. The third member of the unique trio of friends is Bodie, who mostly stays in a small house that he designed and built himself. Mazie is just starting to learn about Dan's complicated history and uncovers even more when she stumbles on Dan's journal. A government guardian (Gigi) and a twin sister (Dani) both play major roles throughout Dan's story. In other words, Dan is just a normal guy - Yeah, Right!
