Dreams have a way of becoming influenced by the obsessions of the waking world. This holds true for Seth Reardon as well, the top professional dreamer in the new and dominant dream industry. Seth finds his entire way of life in jeopardy because of emotions too powerful to ignore, yet too dark to satisfy. The only comfort he sees is in the eyes of a woman he barely knows, but who seems to know everything about him. Sara not only helps Seth deal with the doubts about his life, but also gives him hope for a peaceful future. If he could only escape the people trying to kill him, they could be together.
But when both his dream and his waking worlds collide with each other, he must choose whether or not to risk everything, including the very dreams he cherishes, to make things right.
