Sam hears voices. They bother him and occasionally scare the daylights out of him.

He does not want to go the way of his father, whose delusions ended in suicide.

But he can't shake the feeling that the voices are real, and they lead him to a beautiful world of telepathic communion that he finds addictive.

But this new world has its own, very real dangers, and Sam is soon caught up in deadly serious trouble.
