Sarah is mere weeks away from escape from her suburban life. Not that she hated her life, but she felt it was time to spread her wings and fly on her own. A routine doctors appointment sucks the air from her lungs and out from under her wings. She spirals to the ground where she bursts into flames and waits for death to knock on her door. She wants nothing more than to be left alone and forgotten, to go back to work at the porn palace for her paltry wages and to forget she's sick at all. 
One night on her way home from work, when all is gray and drooping, a few lone notes carried to her on the restless breeze of a NYC side street catch her attention. Suddenly color invades her world, her lungs begin to draw in air again and she, for the first time in weeks, feels alive. 
Enter Jaiden Cross. This mohawked, tattooed, bad ass rocker grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. She doesn't care much for people or anything really other than her own music. She befriends and becomes like a sister to a man named Noose, a disgusting nickname earned through actions performed by others that left him as scarred and shaken as both the young woman before him. Can this group of eclectic wanders, each reaching into the dark for nothing, come up with something, together? Find out in While She Sleeps.
