Some gifts can't be returned. Some minds can't be unread.

In the aftermath of a violent case that left four officers dead and his own life upended, Ethan Greene is struggling to hold himself together. He’s lost his job, lost the woman he cared about, and lost any illusion that the ability he carries, the power to slip inside a killer’s mind through dreams—has a cost he can't outrun. But the dreams haven’t stopped. If anything, they’ve grown darker.

Detective Collins still needs him. A new signal is bleeding through, a methodical predator operating out of the shadows of a funeral parlor, targeting women with quiet, practiced precision. The kills are cold. The ritual is deliberate. And Ethan is the only one who can get close enough to read him from the inside.

But something is wrong with the signal. The dreams don’t add up. The interior world Ethan is navigating keeps shifting, different weights, different hungers, different silences. As he and Collins push deeper into the case, a disturbing truth emerges, Ethan isn’t dreaming about one killer. He never was.

The journals his father kept over a lifetime of sleepless, tormented nights, records that defined Ethan’s understanding of his own ability, were built on a catastrophic misreading. Multiple minds. Multiple predators. The same darkness wearing different faces.

And then a stranger walks into a police interview room, a man who committed murder because a voice in his dreams told him to. A voice that gave him an address, a weapon, a reason. A voice that sounds disturbingly familiar.

Someone out there knows what Ethan can do. And they’re using it.
