JT Drake, a journalist, is reluctantly drawn home to see what his nutty professor father is inventing this time. Between a rain shower and a lightning bolt, he becomes an active part of a refractor experiment - and becomes invisible. SHOCKING BEHAVIOR tells of the struggle to turn him visible again while soothing the suspicions of the nosy neighbour, Mrs Moody. The neighbour's poodle is also turned invisible, in error, and the poor woman becomes convinced that the professor's work partner is a witch.
Roselyn Peabody, PhD, is no witch, but she does hide a secret: her mother was a Las Vegas showgirl. The professor explains that JT's mother died years ago during a sabotaged lab experiment, and an associate stole the formula that can reverse the invisibility. This sinister man is now thought to live in Las Vegas - cue a plane flight, the seeking of assistance from everyone from ten-year-olds to Roselyn's mother, in order to steal back the secrets. Meanwhile Roselyn finds that the strangest thing is happening to her, given she has dedicated her life to science; she is falling in love with someone she cannot even see. JT wants to enjoy his new situation but only to a point, for Roselyn is fast becoming important to him.
A humorous tale of personal discovery as well as invisibility, SHOCKING BEHAVIOR throws several likeable people into a bizarre situation and lets them make the best of it. SHOCKING BEHAVIOR will be enjoyed by anyone who got science experiments wrong at school, or who wishes they could be invisible for a day.
