"Life does not inspire nightmares, it perfects them..."It all started with a brittle book in an old used book shop. One man's struggle for loss of control turned him to look for help in the wrong places. That book was one of those places. The man unwittingly unleashes a danger upon his family. Instead of protecting, and keeping an eye on the family, this force is set to destroy them. Eventually, the man and his twelve-year old son stop this force--only to have it return more than twenty years later. Now, the son is himself divorced, and feeling the downward slide of a life slipping away from him. He is faced with the concern that he is too tired, and the father too weak to face this past enemy of theirs--especially that there is more on the line this time around. Both father and son have to find a way to win what seems to be a hopeless challenge. And what makes it even worse is that they are going to need each other to do it.
