Lambden's town is in the middle of a heat wave. The students and teachers spend each school day in a kind of heat-induced trance, nodding off at their desks. There is little relief, but Lambden has a secret antidote: each night, he gets to board the delightfully chilly Sleep Train. This evening, he even intends to board early for a few extra minutes of frosty air. But when raccoons appear in Lambden's bedroom, looming over his pillow, he gets the sense that something is very wrong.
