DR. EDWARD J. MALCOLM is one of the leading scientists in the Manhattan Project, but greed and jealousy had other plans for his fate when a friend came to visit one day. After sustaining a head injury, Eddy's son Isaac, a neurosurgeon, tried to preserve his father's memory and knowledge by transferring all of it into a memory chip. He induced Eddy into a dream state that played back his life's memories. Along the way, they discover struggles long hidden, and Eddy must relive his past in order to overcome them or be overcome.

IN HIS COMATOSE STATE, Eddy is placed into a dream in which he is drafted for the Second Great War. Out of fear, Eddy created a clone of himself, which knows only war. The cascade had just begun. Macht, his clone, the world as it is known is broken, cold, and devastated. By the use of Macht's own "induced recruitment or amnesia grenades," Macht found a way to capture everyone's memories and use them as a life source. Friend is foe, and foe is who? He and Okami, his brother-in-science, have slated a new world order, and to finish their plans is control of Eddy's mind. Can Eddy face anxiety incarnate, or will he succumb to his own fears? "The syringe of vengeance had its toxins injected deep within my veins. What a nasty side effect it gave me."
