A dream is Nature's way of nurturing the mind and body. But, what happens when a dream tries to hurt you? What happens when a nightmare is so profound, it leaves physical marks? Daniel Gray Wolf is a man in conflict. He is the sole surviving Ihanbla Gmunka, or dream catcher. Twenty generations of heritage dictate he help those whose dreams turn to nightmares. Enter the dream, solve the problem, then get out. That's the creed. But, sometimes Daniel sees things that aren't meant to be seen. Such is the case when he reluctantly agrees to cure Steve Abrams' nightmare. Suddenly, Abrams' nightmare becomes Gray Wolf's nightmare and he finds just how painful a visit into another man's head can be. A normal man would walk - make that run - away from such a horrible experience. Daniel Gray Wolf can't. If he runs, a kidnapped child loses her life. If he goes back into the dream, he loses his life.
