Orion seems a lot like your average elementary school kid, shy, un-assuming, harboring a secret crush. But underneath his seemingly normal exterior, Orion is a very anxious boy, completely consumed by irrational fears of bees, dogs, the ocean, cell-phone waves, murderous gutter clowns and even falling off of a cliff. But of all his fears, the thing he's the most afraid of is what he confronts on a nightly basis: the Dark. He needs a light everytime he's sleeping. So when the literal embodiment of his worst fear pays a visit, the Dark whisks Orion away on a roller-coaster ride around the world to prove there is nothing to be afraid of in the night. As the unlikely pair grow closer, Orion must decide if he can learn to accept the unknown and stop letting fear control his life and finally embrace the joy of living without any concerns.
