520    Brandon Cossey is finishing his last semester as an 
       undergrad when he learns his childhood best friend, Jacob 
       Balfour, has committed suicide. The news about Jacob, who 
       had long battled schizophrenia, does not come as a 
       surprise--but the bizarre details surrounding his death 
       do. Jacob was found several states away, in a quarry, 
       burned alive. Brandon returns to his hometown and 
       discovers Jacob had been moonlighting as an amateur DIY 
       reporter. As sole author and editor of the homemade zine 
       Illuminations, Jacob has been covering a wide array of 
       conspiracy theories. When Jacob's estranged grandfather, 
       Francis, who also suffers from schizophrenia (but chooses 
       to go untreated), arrives for the funeral, he tells 
       Brandon that Jacob didn't kill himself; Jacob stumbled 
       upon a secret so deadly he was murdered to keep it quiet. 
       Soon afterwards, Brandon's life takes a turn for the 
       strange. He notices odd cars and lookalikes following him,
       his personal property is hacked and stolen, and Brandon 
       can no longer trust what he thinks he sees. As his grasp 
       on reality recedes and falters, Brandon must question 
       whether a sinister gang of doppelgängers, whom Jacob 
       dubbed "the Shadow People," are really responsible. Events
       conspire to put Brandon on the road with Francis, as the 
       unlikely duo travel across the upper Midwest attempting to
       learn the truth about Jacob's death.
