Synopsis

College student Nicholas Dal is a tele-empath who involuntarily experiences the emotions of everyone around him, with overwhelming feelings capable of triggering seizures. Living in semi-drunken isolation just to stay sane, Nicholas finds his careful defenses threatened when a psychiatrist begins investigating him and his growing feelings for a classmate force him to confront his family's cursed legacy of persecution and madness.
