Description
Guy spent his youth on the mysterious island he was destined to inherit one day. He lives in the lighthouse that serves as an orphanage, with his sister, his parents and a horde of children whose every move is rigorously monitored by Guy's mother, authoritarian and tyrannical, while his father, a scientist and inventor, works day and night in the utmost secrecy.
Two detectives, Wendy and Chance Hale, arrive on the island after discovering strange marks on the children's heads. Guy is overwhelmed by Wendy, his first stirring of emotion that sends his hormones into turmoil, while his sister, cheeks scarlet, is numb with love for Chance — a love that must absolutely not be revealed to Mother.
