Synopsis
On 13th April, at exactly the same time, everyone over the age of seventeen fell asleep and did not wake again.
In every corner of the world, adults fell unwakeably asleep in the middle of whatever they were doing. Resulting in pile-ups on the roads, planes falling from the sky, fires. In Shawton it was the middle of the night, and most adults simply slept on in their beds. But, come morning, when all the kids woke up, it was to a town without adults.
The Shawton kids have to deal with this new reality. Sixteen-year-old Dwayne Garland must look after his sleeping mom, and his special-needs kid sister. Rhianna thinks it is a judgment of God. Other kids look after their parents, or don't: kick-off, party, go wild. As time goes on, kids who turn seventeen slip into the Swoon in the midst of their birthday celebrations.
But how long will the adults stay asleep? What is behind the Swoon? As the weeks turn to months, Dwayne tries to find answers. But with no solution on the horizon, his seventeenth birthday is getting ever closer...
