“People talk about out of body experiences. Some say they saw themselves being resuscitated and others say they saw a light which suddenly faded away as they came back alive. That didn’t happen to me. There was no bright light at the end of the tunnel and no one tried to resuscitate me. That’s because technically I wasn’t dead, I was in a coma instead.”
After a life changing accident puts Abigail Manders in a coma, she finds herself as a spirit, separated from her body. Then she meets Zach, a strange and mysterious guy who seems to a know a lot about what’s happening to her and is the only one who can see her. As Abigail and Zach go against time to find a way to make her whole again Abigail begins to question how far she will go and how much she can trust Zach. But as she continues to linger in the spirit realm there’s something else in the shadows where a darkness is rising.

I knew it soon after meeting her. She was different than other girls, and not just because she actually showed some interest in me. She was really different. I loved it. I loved her. But Abigail had a secret. Damian told me so, the first time I met him. I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not. He wasn't trustworthy. He wasn't nice. He was a terrifying figure, the embodiment of fear. But he was right. She had a secret. I'm sorry I keep repeating it. It's still hard to believe. How could somebody so gentle, nice, and loving be so... scary? That's the only word I knew to describe her after it all ended. Everything about her being was scary. Abigail was my life, I told myself. She was my everything. She left me with nothing. If she was my life, does that make this suicide?
