Ellie's little brother Danny disappears. While being held captive, he dreams about Argent, the fantasy heroine he and Ellie dreamed up as children.

Ellie's anguished drama is more immediate than Argent's adventure, but the cleverly wrought, satisfyingly executed story lines powerfully complement one another.
