When Sam Windsor's parents let him and his siblings, Grayson and Addie, skip school to go to the beach, the plan seems too good to be true. It turns out that feeling was right, because that evening Sam's parents drop the news that shatters his world: They are separating, and his dad is moving out. More than anything, Sam wants his parents to stay together. So when a strange man offers Sam a flute made of bone and tells him that playing it can grant one's greatest desire, Sam is desperate enough to try, no matter how creepy or absurd the stranger's gift seems. And surprisingly, the wish on the skeleton flute comes true. The next day, his parents are happily in love, with no plans for his dad to leave. But there's a major problem: His parents' relationship isn't the only thing in his life that has changed, and some of the changes are definitely for the worse. Caught in a web of unintended consequences, Sam must try to get his old life back, despite the challenges that are waiting for him if he succeeds. And that means uncovering the mystery behind the strange man's identity.
