"A real blend of continued development of our teenage Mulder & Scully, as events begin shaping who they are as young people, mixed with a light blend of conspiracy and intrigue that fits in the brighter, bolder and more colorful texture of the panels." –Flickering Myth
Before the FBI, before the X-Files, they were just two teenagers in search of the truth. On Martha’s Vineyard, a young Fox Mulder investigates something strange happening on the island. In San Diego, 13-year-old Dana Scully looks into the shocking murder of her teacher. Two kids, two mysteries, one conspiracy that threatens the future of humanity.
