Summer is around the corner, and both temperatures and tensions are rising. Jane Smith is middle-aged and newly divorced with two kids, two jobs, and a two-bedroom apartment that is one bedroom too small. Add a sick parent and an overly friendly neighbor to the equation, and it is no wonder Jane has trouble sleeping.
Zave is Jane's eldest daughter. Smart, sassy, and somewhat bored, Zave blames her mother for her parent's divorce and spends her free time testing boundaries. As she struggles to fit in at her new school, she finds an unexpected friend in the woman next door.
Hayley Jo Richardson is that neighbor. Initially drawn to Zave, she soon befriends the rest of the Smith family. There's only one problem. The more time Hayley Jo spends at their apartment, the more things start to go wrong. Jane isn't the only one who is having trouble sleeping.
A fictional story, The Dark Side of the Wall examines how access to new technology changes behavior. When science makes what was once impossible, possible, we must reassess the limits of our behavior. The dark side of the wall is a place within us all.
