[4] Victoria Vick, a therapist living in Austin, Texas, writes a book about her experience with a former client, Y___, a man whose name the reader never learns.

After the shock of learning that the cloaking technology is real, Victoria ceases to challenge any of Y___'s other claims of his intelligence, his moral reasoning, and his often erratic and aggressive attitude.

Y___ claims to spend most of his time observing people and living in their homes to learn how they behave when alone, which he insists is essential to completing his research.

Vick attempts to enforce boundaries with Y___ and challenge the lies she believes he has told her; Y___ reacts poorly, quitting therapy and insisting that Victoria is denying her reciprocal feelings.

[7][8][9][10] The Dallas Morning News said of the book, "[It] is a rich, fast-paced and funny novel made to entertain lovers of literary metafiction, sci-fi and thrillers.
