Emma looks like she has a perfectly normal and pleasant life. She has everything going for her: she's popular at school, she's got a great job at the local diner, she's got college to look forward to in a few months. What more could a girl ask for? Love? She has that too, the two people Emma loves the most: her step-brother, Chad, and her best friend, Brittany, also love her. She lives the ideal life in a suburban neighbourhood, surrounded by love and acceptance, but she has one problem that keeps her from being seen as "normal," she suffers from insomnia that distorts reality from dreams.
