16-year-old Mason Lambert is depressed.
However, growing up in a world where mental illness is nonexistent, he's beginning to feel like he may just be crazy.
Robots run the world, taking up almost every occupation there is, including doctors. There is no concept of mental illnesses to be found, and with the demons growing louder in Mason's head, it all seems hopeless.
Until he meets a girl who is seemingly just like him.
Now it is Mason's job to singlehandedly find a way to save him and his newfound love, and perhaps others, from the monsters in their heads.
