Synopsis

Daniel and Brandon appear to be a couple of average teens who like to read comic books, make movies with their camera, skate outside the local video shop with friends, and even play an elaborate version of hide-and-seek on the sprawling grounds of the botanical gardens after dark. But these two boys from Manchester, England, are anything but average teens. Best mates since they met on their first day of school in the States, they share not only an unbreakable bond but a secret destiny as well — a destiny that arrives, as if triggered by the hand of fate itself, when all-American jock and fellow classmate Cody is drawn into their circle. And as the fragile facade of boyhood innocence begins to crumble, a slumbering darkness stirs to fulfill a prophecy foretold long ago. What begins as a simple coming-of-age story gradually builds into an adventure of epic proportion as past and present intertwine and the tension mounts to a stunning climax that will leave you breathless and pondering the true nature of heroism, friendship, sacrifice, and love long after the final page has been turned. Where innocence ends, legend begins.
