Lane Dixon hasn't seen his mother in six years. She was notorious for acting, "strangely," and never exactly fit into the sane category. If there was one word to describe her, it would be, "mental." Lane begins to fear the same fate as rumors fly about; what if he has the same mental disease? After all, he can see things that aren't there, hear tiny whispers that float about, and even feel like he's in a different place than his hometown. But when a tiny creature visits Lane to inform him that his mother is in great danger, Lane's life takes a turn for the first time in six years. Things are about to get magical.
