Darren & Eric are typical 15 year old nerds. Well, one of them is anyway. Working hard on their design for a sci-fi movie trilogy, complete with a series of novels to fill in the blanks, they become best friends. Then Eric tells Darren about his "thing." He doesn't sleep, can't sleep, ever. If that information got into the wrong hands, it could be dangerous. So what happens to someone that can never reach a state of unconsciousness? All the stuff that gets worked out when people sleep never gets worked out for Eric. What DOES happen, is beyond anything you could possibly imagine. This is DC Pierson's debut novel and he does a extraordinary job of intertwining the everyday teen experience with science fiction. Some have called this a cross between the movies "Superbad" and "E.T." Consider yourself challenged to find out if you feel the same way. Advisory: adult themes, some adult language
