When Darren Bennett meets Eric Lederer, there's an instant connection. They share a love of drawing, the bottom rung on the cruel high school social ladder and a pathological fear of girls.nbsp; Then Eric reveals a secret: He doesn't sleep. Ever.nbsp; When word leaks out about Eric's condition, he and Darren find themselves on the run. Is it the government trying to tap into Eric's mind, or something far darker?nbsp; It could be that not sleeping is only part of what Eric's capable of, and the truth is both better and worse than they could ever imagine.
