Although seventeen-year-old Darcy has always remembered her dreams, she's never bothered to interpret them beyond writing them down in her journal. But after a date with her boyfriend, Harley, goes horribly wrong, the only thing she wants to do is retreat into them-to the attractive boy she dreams about every night.
Soon, to Darcy's surprise, she realizes that she is able to communicate with the mysterious dream boy-Jackson, who introduces himself as Jack. Despite everything going on in her waking life, she knows that she is safe with him. As the chemistry grows between them, Darcy and Jack make every effort to be together as often as possible, even if it's only in their dreams. As their budding romance grows, Darcy learns that Jack has secrets of his own-possibly deadly ones-and she finds herself wondering why he must be away from her for long periods of time. Where does he go? What does he do when he's gone?
But just when the two decide that the past no longer matters, dark forces in Jack's life arise and threaten to take Darcy from him forever. Will they be able to overcome them and find a way to be together?
