Andre Brown is not the run-of-the-mill seven-year-old boy. Slightly touched with the gift of intuition, he struggles to fit in with his peers and live a normal life. After the untimely death of a classmate, Andre ventures on an awakening journey into the night that very few remember the next day. With practice, Andre learns to control his nightly excursions into the world of lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences, which foreshadows in pending doom in the reckless life that he is drawn into.

Soon after his journeys begin, his mother moves the family from a friendly backwoods town in West Virginia to a notorious metropolitan area, the Jungle in Los Angeles, California. With each new town, Andres nightly experiences begin to take on a darker tone as does his personality and, ultimately, his behavior.
