Just like that — it was like someone sparked a match. Images flickered through my brain. Visions framed by convex glass. The sky. The sea. The island. Everything too close. And all at once. Then a scream. … Crunch! Blackness. WE ARE SIMPLE SUN Marcus Raisin is not living the dream. An aspiring stand-up comedian, during the day he works as a customer support rep for a mediocre software development company. At night, he drinks away his existential pain. Little does he know, however, that everything is about to change. Simple Sun is about to enter his life. Led by the charismatic Emmerson Ray, Simple Sun promises to change the world (and Marcus's life) for the better, forever. And it will cost Marcus everything. As tropical paradise beckons, Marcus will need to decide whether a life less normal is really for him. Or perhaps he was destined to be an office drone all along. After all, not everyone can live an extraordinary life … can they? Peace & Quiet & The Falling Rain is a darkly comic technothriller following the exploits of Marcus Raisin as he explores the twin enigmas that are Emmerson Ray and Simple Sun.
