    In a futuristic world ravaged by global warming, people have lost the ability to dream, and the dreamlessness has led to widespread madness.

But getting the marrow, and with it the dreams, means death for the unwilling donors. Driven to flight, a fifteen-year-old and his companions struggle for survival, attempt to reunite with loved ones and take refuge from the "recruiters" who seek them out to bring them to the marrow-stealing "factories."
