In the book, we follow the young actress Robina Rowe and her protective brother Jason as they navigate the thrilling yet perilous world of feelies. Robina, a Sensitive who experiences emotions more intensely than others, illegally attends a horror feelie, leading to devastating consequences. The intensity of the film overwhelms her, resulting in a near-fatal incident that draws the attention of theater medical staff.
