Luke struggles with insomnia of a very interesting variety. Every time he tries to fall asleep, he feels like he is falling and wakes up again. His overly strict parents won't take him to the doctors, believing that god will heal his ailments faster than any medication will, and Luke's best friend Alex is always coming to the rescue, but Alex can't save Luke this time. With no hope of sleep, and no one to help him, Luke finds himself hearing things. Along with smelling things. Was that sea salt he smelt? Why did he hear rushing wind? He never thought the phrase "falling asleep" would be taken literally.
