James Pearson is a man who lives by his emotions - he has no choice since he feels everyone else's. Born with the gift of detecting and interpreting the unique energies of those around him, he must come to terms with these abilities if he has any hope of conquering them. Discovering his friend is in trouble sets off a chain-reaction. It begins with a series of nightmares; dreams in which he is saved by a woman he longs for even in his waking hours. With the support of his friends, he faces the kind of darkness he once shied away from and which he must now conquer if he has any hope of surviving.
