Synopsis
Ford Dearborn is a troubled young man struggling with a series of blackouts he doesn't understand. Accompanied by recurring nightmares of a scientist's bizarre death, these episodes leave him disoriented and afraid he will end up like his catatonic mother, whom he hasn't been allowed to see in years. What he doesn't realize is that these episodes are visions of the future and a monstrous entity has sensed his existence because of them-an entity now bent on his destruction. When Ford's telepathic powers awaken in full, he is forced to go on the run in a desperate bid to make sense of what is happening. What he uncovers is something darker and far larger than he could have possibly imagined-something that threatens more than his life. But before he can confront the horror closing in on him, Ford must learn to face the shadows of his past if there's even a sliver of a chance of his survival. . . .
