Altberg begins by declaring that he has decided to document the events leading up to his untimely end in order to "set certain facts" before the public, aware that he will not survive to do so himself. In the North Atlantic, after sinking a British freighter and its occupied lifeboats, the cruel and arrogant Altberg commands his U-boat to submerge, surfacing later to find the dead body of a seaman who died clinging to the exterior railing of the sub.

  What if someone you've known your entire life one morning woke up with a completely different personality? 
  Nothing seems to be going right for small town high schooler Taylor Hartley. He's bullied, unhappy, aimless, and fears what the future holds. More challenges arise when constant dizzy spells and unsettling dreams, possibly visions, are added to the mix. His family and a caring teacher are doing their best to help when surprisingly their prayers are answered. Overnight Taylor has new confidence and drive. His younger sister is ecstatic but tries not to dwell on a few oddities like why her brother doesn't seem to know anyone's name, or why he's forgotten his class schedule. 
  Taylor’s father is relieved his son is sticking up for himself. However, he gradually becomes unsettled especially after it seems the young man is taking charge. In the meantime, he’s offering promising financial advice. 
  Unexpectedly Taylor ends up on the local police sergeant’s radar. Several students linked to harassing and bullying the teen are themselves the victims of brutal beatings. But no one’s talking. 
  It doesn't take long for some to start wondering if these changes are for the best.
