Iris Shuester may come off as the typical basket case, chasing a dream in the literature world, but deep down inside her soul, something is not quite right. From hallucinations to flashbacks, to a mysterious imaginary alien friend hanging out with her at random times since childhood, she can’t seem to catch a break.

Now about to graduate from Portland State University, Iris struggles to find her niche in life, even being heavily medicated for all her chemical imbalances. It could be due to the fact that she is slightly off in the head. It also may be because of her drinking problem, human malfunctions and constant hallucinating that her struggles appear more severe than others. Lacking friends, a stable family, or holding down a relationship, time is of the essence for her as the older she gets, the more things become real.

On a quest to "make it" in the city life after getting her degree and be normal, she starts to realize the strange things happening around her may not be so fiction after all, especially when her alien friend warns her that this life does not belong to her.
