In a future that requires nonstop work, a miracle-drug keeps humanity awake and energized.
But when a young patient discovers the real reason no one is allowed to dream...
...the truth could crack reality itself wide open.
The past two years have been brutal for Daria. She went from track star and top student to a pathetic joke, thanks to her relentless exhaustion. Desperate, she winds up at a rehabilitation centre, hoping to find a cure and claw back her ideal, conformist life.
But just as Daria is on the verge of recovery, a shocking revelation threatens everything she wants - and everything she's supposed to be.
Lies, betrayal... and a mysterious voice calling her name.
Can she ignore it all and get her old life back, better than ever?
Or will she allow her eyes to close and discover what lurks in the recesses of her mind?
