Lexi Lee thinks she's found her soulmate. The problem is, she has never met Night, the elusive street artist who leaves his paintings in the nooks and crannies of the city. Still, that doesn't stop her from penning letters to him and dreaming about living in his paintings. After a car accident lands her in a coma, she finds herself wandering through Night's paintings and her childhood memories. Her only companion in dreamland is a boy who doesn't understand why he is trapped there with her and wants to leave. Christopher Fang is trying to make sense of the recent dreams he has been having, dreams in which he meets the irreverent, free-spirited Lexi, a girl unlike anyone else he has met in his world of mercenary businessmen. Soon, he finds himself seeking escape from his life in those dreams. But when he finds out that his father's latest property development project involves taking over the inn that Lexi's father owns, Chris must choose between his loyalties to his father and helping Lexi return to the life she left behind. But as Lexi and Chris grow closer, the truth about Lexi's accident comes to light, threatening to tear them apart and making them question the people they believe in, their love for each other, and what it is they are really awake for.
