Nel 1979 un terribile tornado devasta la città di Wichita Falls, in Texas. Molti morti, moltissimi senzatetto e un bambino di nove anni che lotta per riemergere dal coma. Il suo nome è Todd Willis e quando quattro anni dopo si risveglia, trova ad attenderlo un mondo diverso, simile a quello vissuto prima del tornado ma inquietante in un modo che non riesce a spiegarsi. La nuova vita di Todd diventa una lotta per separare i fatti dalla fantasia, il sonno dalle allucinazioni.
