In the new school Carolina makes friends with Ruth and Eddie, a lonely guy obsessed with aliens and horror stories. Meanwhile, in the night, her dreams are increasingly unsettling: she dreams more and more unknown kids claiming from her something that she doesn’t understand.

- By an eclectic author a noir full of twists and turns.
