Paul Allen's worst nightmare has come true. His runaway son, Randy, has been convicted for the third time of a violent crime and will be locked up for life. Except for one faint hope. As allowed by law, Randy has requested an assisted telepathic link with his father. If, after that link, testing shows a significant psychological change has occurred, Randy gets another chance at freedom. How can Paul refuse?
But what Paul finds out is that once you're in a prisoner's mind, son or not, you're at their mercy.
