In a society that is divided between those with mystical abilities and those who have nothing special to give... A happy, satisfying life on either side is hard to find.
Alan Comet, an ordinary 12-year old boy, resides on the streets of his hometown without a family, friends or even a roof over his head to keep him dry and warm. While dodging school bullies and the killer glares of his peers, trying to keep himself fed and steering away from the guiding arms of two police officers that have tried to take him in time and time again; Alan has struggled to understand his role in society, and ultimately, to find his purpose. Though, after Alan meets another boy from his school, Casey Alexander; a similarly alone kid who has fallen in with the wrong crowd of friends at their middle school; he is brought out into the sunlight. Is this connection and comfort between him and his newly-found friend real or is it all just in his head? Would someone truly give the time of day to a broken, lonely kid like him, or will his past mistakes continue to haunt him and leave him all alone once again?
