It might skirt the edge of plausible, but the superb writing by Lisa Henry and J.A. When All the World Sleeps is dark, emotional, gut wrenching and real. But Daniel’s demons won’t leave him alone, and he’ll need Bel’s help to slay them once and for all – assuming Bel is willing to risk everything to stand by him. And submitting to Bel gives Daniel the only peace he’s ever known. Yet as he’s drawn further into Daniel’s dark world, Bel finds that he likes being in charge. Daniel’s fascinating, but Bel’s not going there. Bel agrees to control Daniel at night – for the sake of the other townsfolk. But when Bel saves Daniel from a retaliatory fire, he discovers that Daniel might not be what everyone thinks: killer, liar, tweaker, freak. Like the rest of Logan, local cop Joe Belman doesn’t believe Daniel’s absurd defense. Back in the tiny town of Logan after serving his prison sentence, Daniel isolates himself in a cabin in the woods and chains himself to his bed at night. Including burning down Kenny Cooper’s house – with Kenny inside it – after Kenny brutally beat him for being gay. And rightly so he sleepwalks, with no awareness or memory of his actions. Daniel Whitlock is terrified of going to sleep.
