Rescued from a Chinese 'fortune-teller' (actually a witch), Bai Nian Chen comes to Gulinger High with a big secret. His family is cursed. The witch had used Chen since his early childhood to extort information from unsuspecting customers with his tactile psychic gifts. But his curse goes deeper than that. So deep, Chen avoids coming in contact with his classmates for fear of what might happen. And though Matt Calamori and friends assure Chen that he is safe at the school, he is not so sure. After all, he knows to what lengths the witch will go to to get him back.
