Consider the stick figure drawn on a piece of paper- in front of him we sketch a house but all he sees is a line. Our three-dimensional existence beyond his page is unfathomable. Do you ever wonder who looks at us and takes the same pity on our lack of perspective?This is a story told by Peter, a misguided young man recently dropped (or forced) out of medical school, who is dragged into a bizarre adventure across the country that he just can't resist. As he seeks to regain his grip on reality, others in his party reveal to him that maybe there is more to "all of this" than he thought. Peter tells the reader early on that he is suffering from mental illness, and he is not the most reliable narrator. Aside from that, he has a lot of growing up to do.Joined by physics students Allie (his old crush) and David (his old nemesis), Peter attempts to ferry Allie from Florida to California so she can prove her great discovery to the world. Unfortunately, her violation of the inter-dimensional order has drawn the attention of beings that monitor for such violations, if you believe in that sort of thing, and Peter still isn't sure he does either. But he really had nothing better to do at the time, so he can't complain. Come with him and see for yourself.
