Aiden Dentier wishes he was alone. All the time. Aside from the girl across the street that that doesn't know he exists, he doesn't really like anyone. But be careful what you wish for, because one day he wakes up and everyone is gone. At first he relishes in this new life, but eventually he realizes - even though he would never admit it - he misses people. That despite how much he likes being alone, he doesn't like to be lonely. Then, slowly, he notices changes. Pages in his book turned; food missing; flower petals scattered on his nightstand. Is he still alone? Is he still trapped in this curse or has someone come to his rescue? More importantly, does he want to be rescued?
