About this audiobook

Summary

A crystalline powder called drift is turning the youth of a dying Massachusetts mill town into something more than addicts. Bryce Whelan, a nineteen-year-old dealer with no future, discovers the drug doesn't just alter perception—it reveals a vast, dark architecture lurking beneath the skin of the world. When seventeen-year-old Danielle Kovac begins documenting impossible phenomena across town, their paths converge on a terrifying truth: every user is becoming a doorway, and something on the other side is almost through.
