Two weeks after Henry’s abduction, he is still burning with questions: Had his mother really tortured him with a synthetic nightmare? Was he really one of the CIA Sleep Control Program’s first experiments? What was on the flash drive that the President had supposedly given him? But most importantly, if his mother had caused his condition, could she reverse it?

Henry soon begins the hunt for his mother, but to find her, he’ll need to delve into her past, a world where nothing is as it seems, where the Cold War still exists, where secrets are the only currency, and where torture is an art form. In his search for answers, Henry learns that everything—his condition, his mother, his father, even the President—are linked by one thing: Project Sandman.

It might—just might—be his salvation.
