If you had the ability to see the world through someone else's eyes, even for just a few minutes, would you want to?     Vee Bell seems like your everyday narcoleptic but what really happens during her episodes is much more than nodding off.  Vee doesn't just pass out, she slides into the minds of other people, giving her a chance to experience the world as they do.  Last year, she slid into someone she thought was her friend who just stood by and did nothing on the night that changed Vee's life forever.  Most recently, she slid into the mind of a killer just as he or she finished off her sister's friend Sophie.  The worst thing about her ability is she can't share it with anyone, not even those closest to her.  She'll have to find a way to prove that Sophie's death wasn't suicide and that how ...
