epic young adult mystery

Double, or… Something

Jack Anderson has been plagued by a mysterious disease for most of his life. It makes him weak and unable to live the normal life of a teenager. Over the summer, he is shipped off by his parents to a special hospital in a remote desert-like area. There, he is to undergo a groundbreaking treatment. After enduring months of questionable medical experiments performed by a group of doctors who are supposed to help him get better but keep him sick on purpose, all in the name of medical research, Jack escapes from the clandestine medical facility and heads for home.

While Jack was being experimented on against his will, a clone of himself named Hyde was sent to his hometown as an imposter. Enter Jack’s good friend Kayle — “The Freakazoid” — and Claire — Jack’s longtime girlfriend — who begin to see the chinks in the facade. To complicate matters, Hyde can’t stand the sight of Claire and begins to develop romantic feelings for Kayle.

Then things get suddenly more complicated. When Jack returns home, he comes face to face with his clone. Furthermore, while the two boys first can’t stand the sight of one another, they soon stumble upon the plan to destroy them both and become allies to fight for their right to co-exist.
