Overview

"After a traumatic head injury, Dylan Hendler Waxman, once a champion wrestler, has started a peculiar hobby: he waits outside train stations and photographs commuters; at the end of each month, he stalks someone home for the weekend. Dylan has left his Division I wrestling program and moved to Boston, to live with a family friend, Allie Houston and attend college with her. Stalking is a way for him to fill the void inside of him, to keep his mind off the realities of his new, trivial life. One day, while stalking somebody he calls Chance through the city, he witnesses a performance by a daredevil at Faneuil Hall, learns that Chance was once a stunt performer, and discovers dark secrets— all while beginning to question his own sanity. When Allie confronts him on the street, he has to confront his obsession once and for all." -- Abstract
