18-year-old Kyle had always enjoyed being alone. For as long as he could remember, he had spent most of his time in solitude and, if he was being honest, he preferred it this way.

Suddenly Kyle is faced with things about his world that he didn't even know were possible. The unexplained becomes his job to figure out, and now all Kyle wants is not to be alone anymore.
