Spencer is a college freshman with chronic insomnia and three weeks of increasingly poor results at adjusting to university life. Nothing has gone right that particular morning: he oversleeps, gets turned away at the school gates, and only makes it onto campus with help from a sophomore he has never met before. On campus, it gets worse. A student has been found murdered. Spencer becomes responsible for investigating when it becomes clear — with no room for interpretation — that the murdered student was him.
