...wake human cells stuck in the "off" position? Dermatologists won't know for sure until they try; they also won't know about side effects (SHH in big doses can trigger skin cancer, though the mice have shown no sign of it so far).

Dwayne comes to believe that he is a character in one of Kilgore...
