"Pat did not believe in magic but he did believe in monsters." Nearly all civilized society has become plagued with mental illness and the cries for a cure can be heard in every city, home, and street. When a solution is invented by the eccentric Owen Sherwood as a means to help his son Pat, people begin to hope for the future once again. But, peace is not long-lasting. The day that this new technology is unveiled to the public, a dark force takes the life of Pat's father and kidnaps his wife. Patrick Sherwood, along with the arrogant Dr. Clive Evers and anxious Harmony Latham, must determine if this new technology created a monster or merely opened the doorway for it to enter the world.
