Born into a world that misunderstands him as much as he misunderstands it, Lucas Ramirez struggles to find his footing as an autistic teenager. Dealing with poverty, prejudice, faith, trauma, and love, he feels at odds with everyone and everything. Outside of his own mother and grandmother, Luke’s friends, Bonnie, and Drew, are his only support system. As a child, Luke learned that his father died in a car crash, but one night his grandmother reveals the dramatic truth. Enraged, Luke sets out on a treacherous mission to track down his deadbeat father and bring him to justice.
It’s been two years since Luke came face-to-face with his demons and put his long-lost, psychotic father behind bars. With the Masked Hunter from his nightmares gone, Luke strives to move on with his life, but heading off to college causes his world to spiral out of control. With his friends going on separate paths, he has only his ex-girlfriend Natalie to accompany him as he confronts a vastly different life at university. When a fraternity with a questionable reputation invites Luke to a party, things go terribly wrong. In a moment of haste, Luke flees to New York to find his girlfriend, Bonnie. Trapped in a blizzard and overwhelmed by the city, Luke’s problems are far from over. An enemy watches over him, stalking him from the shadows and waiting for the right moment to strike.
