You'll lose a lot of sleep . . . Ralph does.

At first, he starts waking up earlier. And earlier. Then the hallucinations start—the colours, shapes, and strange auras. Not to mention the bald doctors who always turn up at the scene of a death.

That's when Ralph begins to lose a lot more than sleep. When he begins to understand why his hitherto mild-mannered friend, Ed, is getting out of control—dangerously so. And why his hometown is about to become the new Armageddon...
