Philip has come to the frightening realisation that somehow, if only briefly, he has the ability to enter people's consciousness. This act takes a debilitating physical blood-covered toll on both parties. For a few short minutes, Philip is in control of the chosen person's body and mind, dictating their actions. He discovers, to his cost, that the other person's consciousness actually swaps to his body and with equal control.

With maturity, he learns to manage and contain this 'swap' but with horrific consequences.

The story is about adoration, lust, horror and jeopardy and contains a strong emotional core. Pacey and often amusing but with an unexpected and tragic finale.
