Follow the stories of Will, whose upbringing and a terrible accident have imposed upon him a bitterness toward life; Oscar, who strives to discover perfection in a world that cannot possess it; Gwen, whose diatribes hide the frightened disbeliever inside; Simon, whose insight into human nature can't save him from being subject to it; and Eve, whose bright outlook masks a heart as lonely as any other. The lives of these five and a host of others weave together to create a complicated yet heartening picture of the self-imposed isolation and desire for understanding that all human beings carry as burdens. 
And then there is Daniel, who has lost his way from the dreaming, and who does not belong here at all.All Rights Reserved
