In a stratified future where citizenship is bought, Myke sells his subconscious to the DreamX corporation to escape the slums. But the transaction leaves a door open. A strange and sinister figure from the simulation has crossed into the waking world, and Myke's departed father has left behind paintings that predict the nightmare. As the walls between dream and reality collapse, Myke discovers that the system isn't just harvesting dreams-it's rewriting them. Waking up might be the only way to survive.
