Caden considers himself a normal boy. However, his mind is a pathological liar that embarks on fantastic journeys. Sometimes, Caden finds himself on the way to the deepest point on Earth in the Mariana Trench, aboard a ship where time moves sideways like a crab, weathered by millions of voyages that stretch back into the dark past. In reality, Caden's mind turns harmless things like a garden hose into a deadly threat. As the boundary between the real and the fantastical blurs, Caden realizes that in biblical times, he might have been regarded as a prophet, but today the diagnosis is schizophrenia.
