He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad—at himself and the people around him—and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAnd then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world.
