A series of unexplained deaths as the entire town of Artus on edge. Seventeen-year-olds have been discovered dead in their beds with expressions of extreme terror or agony on their faces. At the same time, a strange whispered rumour has been circulating that if someone falls in their dreams, and doesn't wake up before landing, they'll die in real life. When Karsten's missing friend Perdita is discovered dead in her bed on his seventeenth birthday, Karsten's world falls into despair. Soon after, Karsten's childhood friend Milly appears. She is mysterious, intelligent, and arrogant... and was reported to have committed suicide several years ago. From the very night that he meets her again, Karsten begins having horrific nightmares, just like those mentioned in rumours. What Karsten thought was a brief stumble in his life may turn out to be only the initial moments of a terrible plunge into the depths of his darkest fears.
