Leonardo Cantrell is a painfully shy sixteen-year-old who cannot look people in the eye. One night while he’s volunteering at a homeless shelter an old man forces eye contact and gives Leo the power to see Death.
His best and only friend—J.C. Rivera—thinks this new power is cool until Leo accidentally looks into J.C.’s eyes and “sees” his murder a murder that will occur in less than two weeks. Stunned and shaken the two boys sift through clues in Leo’s “vision” in a desperate effort to find the killer and stop him before he can strike.
Aided by feisty new-girl-at-school Laura the boys uncover evidence suggesting the identity of the murderer. However their plan to trap the would-be killer goes horribly awry and reveals a truth that could kill them all.
