"They say humans are made to love," whispered the voice inside me. It always urged me to love and to be a good person. But it always forgot one thing: Are humans truly worth loving? I've seen many things in this life- Enough to murder that small, kind child inside me. And yet, all he ever wanted was to love... and be loved. But this ungrateful species called mankind- they took him from me. And in his place, they left nothing but a vast, echoing emptiness. That emptiness grew. It twisted. It changed me. Until one day, it became me. Now, I am only its prisoner. But once... I was just a child who only wanted to love and be loved.

When Chioma's young daughter falls into a psychogenic coma while illegally dreamscaping (lucid dreaming), Chioma turns to the infamous underground dreamscaper, Dr. Michael Raphael to help "find" her daughter. No one has ever returned from a psychogenic coma while dreamscaping but Chioma believes that her daughter has disappeared into her Unconscious realm based on an old theory proposed by Michael about the very nature of trauma, dreams and the human unconscious. Michael, whose life-long dream is to literally find the human Soul, has stopped believing in his own theory. He now reluctantly agrees to accompany Chioma into her dream-world in search of her daughter. In their journey to the realm of the unconscious, they run into various complexes in the dream-world and they both undergo numerous trials and tribulations in order to transform into entities worthy of accessing the Soul. But will these be enough? Will they succeed in retrieving the lost daughter?
