Wenn Träume lebendig werden! Der Protagonist des Romans ist der 14-jährige Eddie, der mit seinen Eltern in Florida lebt. Er träumt seit seinem 13. Lebensjahr regelmäßig denselben Traum, in dem er von anderen Kindern gedemütigt und beleidigt wird. In seinem Traum verliebt er sich in Lana und trifft tatsächlich ein Mädchen, dass seiner Traumfrau zum Verwechseln ähnelt. Er gibt seine Suche irgendwann auf und wird sesshaft. Über Umwege lernt Eddie Lana tatsächlich kennen und sie stellen fest, dass auch Lana diesen Albtraum träumt. Gefährlich wird es, als sich eine geheimnisvolle Organisation in das Leben der Träumer einmischt.

Es beginnt ein Kampf zwischen Gut gegen Böse, der durch das moderne Internetzeitalter definitiv konfuser und verstrickter wird."
