The exploration of lucid dreaming radically changes his real life in supernatural ways, resulting in awkward and comical situations with his family, best friend, school bully, and a few new and unusual friends.
A humourous and heartfelt story of twists, turns, and telekinesis, The Dark in the Glow is a wild ride about the challenges of social anxiety and finding the power to overcome it.
