The bees that attack a group of students at a graduation party are far from ordinary. Every student is stung once in the neck, except Madison Evans, who is stung twice. This has long reaching affects on her life.
  When she wakes up she finds she is in a new strange place called Buckoway but still remembers Earth. Buckoway is a strange hybrid of modern and old civilizations. There is electricity but no motor vehicles, aircraft or firearms. It is as if something wanted to recreate a simple society but with modern health and living facilities. Her friends Kirsty and Norris are with her but they have no memories of home. It is as if she is split into two people.
  Madison awakes from her next sleep to find herself back on Earth and again with her friends. They, however, have no memory of this Buckoway. Madison realizes there are two versions of her friends. She alone seems to travel back and forth between her two existences whenever she awakens.
