Sixteen-year-old Adam is haunted by dreams that leave him exhausted and confused. When a memory of a long-forgotten experience comes back to him, tying him to someone’s perilous escape from death, his special power comes flooding back to him—the power to make heroes from everyday people.
It isn’t long before Adam learns what he thought were dreams are actual experiences, and that the people he’s helped are real. He has a special power that enables him to help others who are in danger. Adam can jump into their bodies and become them, feeling their fear and their pain.

They are heroes.
