The Fisher family moves to Florida so that their eldest son can become a football star for UF. No one seems to notice that Paul Fisher, a soccer player who is nearly blind, is also a remarkable kid. For someone who is nearly blind, Paul sees their new home of Tangerine more clearly than the adults around him. And he sees not just the town, but the environment and the people who live there more clearly, too. Strange things happen all the time around Paul, but he is the only one who can figure them out. And then he discovers his own secret past . . .
