Bryn Reyes suffers from Klein-Levin Syndrome, enduring prolonged episodes of sleep that steal weeks or months from her life. During those episodes she does not lapse into catatonia; instead she inhabits an alternate reality composed of her own memories, where the past is a place she can visit.
One day a boy with no memory of who he is washes up on the illusory beach of Bryn’s dreams. Bryn’s waking symptoms worsen and hallucinations invade her days, and the experimental treatment offered by Dr. Banz, a German specialist, may connect the boy to what is happening to them both.

Book focuses on a medical condition that creates a literal alternate reality for the protagonist. Much of the setup centers on a mysterious, memoryless boy who appears inside Bryn’s dream place and on her worsening symptoms. The presence of a German specialist and experimental treatment gives the opening premise a medical and investigative dimension. The supernatural or speculative element appears tied directly to memory and perception rather than to conventional fantasy worldbuilding.
