And, when he finds out that his dad is going to remarry the awful Kat, something inside of him snaps.
So, when his gran invites him to stay the night, Tom is only too glad to go. Little does he know that this simple night away will change his life completely and, just maybe, alter the course of reality forever.
Join Tom as he explores the world of sleep and dreams, and gets more than he bargains for.
