After years of virtual sleeplessness, Parker doesn't believe he has much time left. He is known as a Watcher. This means he spends the night hours experiencing the dreams of the last person he makes eye contact with. Parker's mother believes he has a secret drug habit and drags him to the doctor. The physician's prognosis verifies the research Parker has done that sleep deprived people can't survive indefinitely. Feeling that his days are numbered, Parker is simply going through the motions as he carefully avoids eye contact with anyone guaranteed to full his nights with discomfort or even terror. He hates the helpless feeling he has when some dreams having him witnessing events beyond his control.
He wears sunglasses hoping to avoid eye contact with random people or those he has already learned have disturbing dreams. His relationships are strained, and he knows he is on the verge of losing his best friend and most likely his spot on the school's championship soccer team. His sleepless life has become a nightmare.
When Parker meets the new girl, Mia, he doesn't make a very good first impression, but he discovers eye contact with her appears to provide just what he needs - sleep. Mia's dreams are soothing and refreshing. Parker is able to enter her dreams and find his own peaceful rest. He is soon obsessed with making eye contact with Mia his daily goal.
Just when Parker thinks he might be able to live with being a Watcher, he discovers Mia's life may be in danger. Although, her opinion of Parker isn't the greatest, he is feeling a strong connection to her beyond her comforting dreams. What will it take to protect someone who doesn't seem to want protection?
