But he’s not so blind that he can’t see there are some very unusual things about his family’s new home in Tangerine County, Florida.

With the help of his new teammates, Paul begins to discover what lies beneath the surface of his strange new hometown. And he also gains the courage to face up to some secrets his family has been keeping from him for far too long. In Tangerine, it seems, anything is possible.
