Last semester, Leah Clark experienced an extravagant side effect after sampling a new antidepressant. Ingesting each dose sent the seventeen year old into a dream world filled with fictional forests and riverbanks. Just when she was beginning to think the experiment had gone horribly wrong, another test subject was able to put things into perspective. Despite a difference in medication, a coma patient named Jack Thomas was also confined to the dream without parole, or so he thought. Although he acquired the ability to sneak inanimate objects into reality, living organisms are only permitted to cross over by checking into a human host. After graduation, Leah decides to invest scholarship earnings on a plane ticket to Connecticut in hopes of bailing out Prince Charming. As if boarding a plane full of strangers wasn't intimidating enough, a few locals were waiting in Hartford with some unexpected turbulence.
