Nicki and Canon are meant for each other. So when Canon disappears, Nicki sets off on a quest to find him - and uncovers a dark secret in his life that leads her into totally alien territory. Running parallel to familiar reality there exists a world of flowing creatures: creatures that originate from people’s thoughts; demons that can make bargains with their creators. Canon’s demon is in serious trouble - and so is Canon. Nicki does everything in her power to save him, but in order to succeed she’ll need all the help she can get from his friends.
