Psychiatrist Cal Bradley is living the good life. A man of decency and integrity, he is loved by his children, respected by his patients, and has a marriage that is the stuff of romance. For fifteen years he has shared his life with Marie, a sweet, simple woman whom he passionately adores. Then one evening, a troubled teenager named Peter Blue unleashes a night of madness that will change Cal's life forever.
Facing prison, suicidal with despair, Peter is sent to Cal Bradley for treatment. For the patient, it's a last chance at redemption. For the doctor, it's the beginning of a journey into a world of fear, deception and murder. Because Cal soon realises that Peter is an extraordinary, almost visionary young man. And bizarrely, the boy's strange and beautiful dreams seem to hold clues to the hidden truths of Cal's reality.
As Cal is drawn into Peter's weird inner universe, he begins to uncover secrets about his own life - the kind of dark secrets that can only have the deadliest consequences . . .
