After open heart surgery, Billy seems to possess a new power—a gift that has profound effects on other people, changing their lives completely. His mother Linda is not a spiritual person, but even she has a hard time explaining what is going on with her son, or where his power is coming from. Soon their lives spin out of control. Billy attracts a following of people, including those who will do anything to obtain his gift, regardless of the outcome. This is a story of true love, and how a little boy with otherworldly power changes hearts and unites people through love and grace. It is the story of evil forces who try to take what is not theirs, the mother who gives her all to protect her son, and the MIA father who learns who his son really is.

L?Eloi mai no troba ningú a casa quan torna de l?escola, sort que els seus pares li acaben de comprar una tele súper moderna: la Marciani XZ-5. Però la Marciani, a més a més de parlar i reproduir les olors de tot el que surt a la pantalla, amaga un secret. La mare l?avisa que es tornarà gris de tant mirar el televisor, i això és precisament el que li passa a l?Eloi: es torna gris. I com ell, molts altres nens i nenes. I el pitjor de la malaltia és que s?encomana amb la mirada i fa tornar dolent! L?Eloi i la Dina intentaran trobar la manera perquè tots recuperin el seu color normal. Però, abans, viuran una perillosa aventura a l?hospital dels nens grisos, un lloc tenebrós on els han tancat contra la seva voluntat i que oculta un parany terrible.Marta Molas (Barcelona, 1955) és mestra, diplomada en relacions públiques i llicenciada en pedagogia.
