Reality can be the difference between a dream and a nightmare… Max Crawford isn’t a typical prison therapist. He uses his unusual psychic ability to walk with convicts through their dreams, reliving their unspeakable crimes alongside them to show them the error of their ways. Max always has to be on his toes to keep himself grounded, but the FBI agent waiting for him in his private office immediately puts him on edge. The bureau wants Max to go way outside his comfort zone to enter the dreams of suspected serial killer William Knox. To get a confession and secure the future of his prison program, Max must gain Knox’s trust by any means necessary—and survive the minefield of secrets waiting inside a murderer’s mind. Secrets that could turn Max’s reality into a living nightmare.

For fourteen years, Psychic Max Crawford rehabilitated prisoners by reliving their crimes with them through their dreams. But, when the FBI debriefs him on an attempted homicide victim named Beth Martin, he decides to take on the case of a lifetime. As the result of a vicious attack, Beth is in a coma, and Max is the only one with the ability to help her. By entering Beth’s unconscious mind, Max embarks on a journey to find out who tried to kill her. There’s only one problem. In her dreamworld, Beth thinks she’s someone else. Before Max can assist Beth to mentally retrace her steps to discover the identity of her attacker, he must first remind her of her own identity. Through a series of surreal encounters, Max uncovers Beth’s past and the possible suspects, including her fiancé Bobby Fugate. As the complex web of players unravels, Max realizes that the path to answers can lead to the most unexpected places. To solve the mystery, he must act quickly and only hope that Beth stays alive long enough to see it to the end.
