Oasis: A Reason

After an event that shattered his life, Tom Switched wakes up in a hospital, unable to fully trust his own memories. As he tries to piece together who he was and what really happened, he discovers that some answers hurt more than the emptiness ever could.

Back at San Willer Institute, his routine begins to change when two people enter his life in completely different ways. Lucas Taylor awakens a curiosity in him that he cannot explain, while Emma Bennett, a violet-haired girl who seems to challenge the entire world, teaches him that even the strongest people carry deep wounds.

Amid secrets, rumors, losses, unexpected friendships, and feelings that defy all logic, Tom must face the hardest question of all:

What does it really mean to love someone?

Because sometimes, an oasis isn't a place.

It's a person.

And finding a reason to keep going can change everything.
