13-year old Miguel Estes feels that being "scared to death," and having "the life scared out of me," are no longer just tired, old expressions ...they've become part of a worldwide epidemic. Now rid of the fears that once paralyzed him, Miguel decides to help others eliminate theirs; he founds F.A.A.T. (Fear Ain't All That), an after-school group with his eccentric but wise Aunt Shirley. In its first meeting Miguel befriends Samantha, a girl diagnosed as having an exotic variety of phobias, fears, and anxieties. With a fierce determination, Miguel helps Samantha rid her life of one debilitating fear after another. Together, Miguel and Samantha learn much about life, fear, and death. Revelations from Aunt Shirley, and recurrent dreams of his brother Jorge (who already lives in heaven), also remind Miguel that "heaven is a far better place than here. It's nothing to be afraid of; it's the perfect place to be...everything about it is perfect."

Between reality and fantasy, between fact and fiction, their is no distinct line, no solid divisor. In-between the tattered edges of both, lurk the dark. The dark is its domain, and now it is free to roam the surface world once again. In the hours of nightfall, it is not the night that frightens little children, it is the dark. And now, for one young man and his closest of friends, the dark is upon them, and fear runs through their veins. They alone know of its terrible power, and they have only one chance to stop it. No one is safe, there's no place left for them to hide... And time is running out!
