What do you do when you find a stranger in your closet and she tells you that her body is in a coma across town? Should you send her to a psychiatrist? Consult one yourself? Or do you believe, and allow yourself to be swept up in an extraordinary adventure?
That is the dilemma Arthur faces when he discovers Lauren in his San Francisco apartment. He is the only person who can see her, hear her, talk to her; no one else even senses her presence. So when doctors prepare to end Lauren's physical care---and destroy the magical bond she and Arthur share---he must find a way to save her. For it is only her love that can save him in return.
