When he wakes, shameful memories come rushing back. Desperate for answers, Jeffers discovers that a brain implant intended to treat his cancer is really a device to control him, forcing him to commit terrible crimes. Now he's being manipulated by an evil crime syndicate and a crooked cop.
When he sleeps, the forgotten terrors of the past come alive ... and his future is a dead ending.
