"You've caused just about enough trouble!" Jim didn't turn around. He knew it was Kincaid. He dropped the bag and ran for the window. Kincaid's aides were too fast for him. They pulled him out from behind the desk and held him firmly. Kincaid's face darkened. "Take him to the medical lab. I'll do this one personally." When Jim Stanton's family moves to Folsum, New Mexico, everyone but Jim is happy. The townspeople are just too polite, and they're all eerily obedient to Jefferson Kincaid, the president of Folsum National Laboratories. Then Jim meets a mysterious girl who lives in the mountains, and she tells him a shocking secret. Something weird is going on in Folsum, and it involves Jim's own family.
