The needle in Karl’s arm is a ticket to peace, denial, oblivion. Anywhere but here, basically. And for the most part, being a junkie is pretty great. His body might be a mess and his love life woeful, but getting high offers him something no amount of psychotherapy ever did: Freedom. That is until the smack sends Karl hurtling into the body of Brenda—a contestant on Big Brother—and he knows he’s finally lost his marbles. Lucky for Karl, one man’s bad trip is another man’s adventure, and his latest delusion might not be the bizarre fantasy he thought it was. It turns out Karl is a Photient, capable of inhabiting the body of any person broadcasted on live TV. Sports finals, rock concerts, even space travel; anything is possible.
But beyond the bright lights and camera lenses war is brewing between the gifted few, and those who wish to control and corrupt them. Fighting by Karl’s side is Tara, a woman whose bravery is only matched by her desperate hope to find a place that’s safe for them all.
For the first time in his life Karl has something to fight for, and everything to lose.
