After having a near-death experience, teenager David Johnson starts to see strange things. Are these premonitions of the future or messages from the other side? Along with visions of a creature called ‘The Dark Man’ and a teenage girl named Star, something is very wrong with the deputy headmaster of his small school. When the head mistress leaves abruptly and a young girl goes missing, David realises that he has returned from death a different person, and something is building, and only his best friend, Malcolm, and the mysterious Star can help him stop it.
