The recent death of her father has upended J.J. Ashford's life, granting custody to her estranged mother, and moving her halfway around the world to an island owned by the secretive, high-security biotech company that her parents co-founded. To make things even worse, J.J. suffers from night terrors and since arriving on the island they've become a horrifying nightly ordeal.

Trapped in nightmare battle scenarios with a group of soldiers, she soon realizes these are more than random dreams. The most frightening discovery of all is that J.J. may be the only hope for her squad-and the only one who can set them free.
