The US President Thompson has been dreaming of his own death. A repeating nightmare that hounds him night after night that he can't ignore- something tells him it's not just a dream, it feels too real.
Thompson's doctor, military psychiatrist Josh Cain, is summoned to a church tower near the White House. He thinks he is there to talk down another suicidal ex-Marine. But the man he finds tells him of a plot to kill Thompson, revealing secrets he can't possibly have known - just seconds before a sniper's bullet takes him out . . .
Battles have been fought man to man, then machine to machine, and even in cyberspace. But now there is a different battlefield emerging- human consciousness and the fight for our minds.
