Daniel is an echo âe" but heâe(tm)s not like the others. He feels a connection with Audrey; a feeling Daniel knows he was never designed to have, and cannot explain. And when Audrey is placed in terrible danger, heâe(tm)s determined to save her. ECHO BOY is a powerful story about love, loss and what makes us truly human.
