At the age of seventeen, Simon watched the love of his life, Dominic, die in a tragic accident.
Now, some five years later, Dominic's ghost is still hanging around, equal parts eternal companion and haunting reminder of the night that ended their childhoods.
But Dominic is not the only spirit Simon has to deal with. Ever since the accident, Simon has been seeing strange supernatural visions.
From the cold beaches of Maine to the white-hot sunny skies of California, the United States of America is all Ghost Country. And Simon will have to cross all of it in his dangerous journey to get back home.

A lonely woman's fascination with a certain bodily fluid leads her down a dark path of NSFL blogs, online roleplay forums, and a dangerous romance.
