In a future world that has collapsed under the weight of human over-population, a new drug appears on the streets that promises the hungry and desperate a way to paradise--at the price of death.

Derek Knox, a detective in the NYPD Narcotics Division, has been fighting a losing battle with this drug for over 20 years. He has seen it kill millions, including his younger brother. Now as the drug threatens his sister and what friends he has, Knox becomes a legal assassin, hunting down Dream dealers in the murky canyons and alleys of a dying city.

One day he faces the demon; a simple pill that is both a nightmare and a dream.
