Official synopsis Publisher
Robert Luxley has a biological problem that he does not understand and cannot control: one touch from his bare skin and you’re paralyzed for fifteen minutes. Lonely and isolated he’s turned his “special trick” into a lucrative career as an assassin. He thinks he’s one of a kind, until one day he’s confronted by a young girl named Cassandra, who tells him that he’s not alone. She has it too, and the two of them are not the only carriers of SDS (Sensory Deprivation Syndrome).
