"I woke to the sound of the crashing waves, tossing our boat back and forth. I could see, hear, and smell beyond that of an ordinary human. And I had a burning desire within me. It was a terrible urge that drove me outside my room and into the hall. Then I saw that which the powers sought: Lucido."
Jake is a sixteen year old boy living in Portland, Oregon. He seems to be making progress with his crush, the illustrious Rose Lombardi, and classes are going great... aside from English.
Yet while his classmates are worrying about puberty, he is concerned with his 'mission state.' At night his senses are heightened and he loses control. He awakes with confusion and frustration. He awakes desiring a cure.
His desire for a solution comes to fruition one night when he witnesses a bank robbery. Shots are fired, tires screech, and Jake is taken far from home, to a place where he'll find more than he had ever wanted to know.
