Seph Singleton risks everything stealing a technology she helped develop to restore her father’s stroke-damaged brain.

Her freedom, her relationship, and her father’s life are in jeopardy when she recklessly infuses him with Nanozoa, self-replicating drones smaller than a blood cell, to reconnect his neural network. But when it works, none of that matters.

When Dad recovers and hacks his own operating system, he develops unexpected uses for his brain’s new tech, including device-less computing, telepathy, and other miracles. Unfortunately, while his brain is repaired, his aging body is still dying. When he passes, his upgrades to the NanozoaOS become the object of a tech-bro bidding war.

The winner, a VR gaming billionaire, tasks Seph and her team to pivot from biotech and leverage her dad’s code to create virtual adventures through shared dreaming. When they succeed, she finds a few surprises in the Land of Nod. First, when her parents appear to her in her dreams, she isn’t sure if they’re alive or not. Second, shared dreaming taps into humanity’s collective unconscious, unleashing a darkness that grows more ominous as more people share their dream adventures.

When her husband, her friends, and the leader of the free world become trapped within their darkest nightmares, it’s up to Seph, with a possible assist from beyond the grave, to confront their shadows and return them to the waking world.
