When the laws of reality are torn, you do or die.An accident two days before his sixteenth birthday put Dan Mackenzie in a wheelchair, but he hasn't let that slow him down. He's made a good life for himself in the Florida panhandle since then, working as a computer geek and playing basketball with his buddies on the weekends. A normal life.During a pickup game one September morning he meets a pretty woman with eyes as green as the Gulf of Mexico and finds himself irresistibly drawn to her. What he doesn't know is that someone wants her dead. Very dead. When a lunatic tries to kill her, Dan's effort to save her profoundly changes his life, and he discovers that his notion of "normal" is nothing like he thought. Now the two have become separated, and he is fast learning that people are not at all what they seem. There are powers at work he never dreamed existed.And they want him dead, too.
