Thrown into a world of what some people would call delusion, Olivia Ross and her brother, Gage, become aware that dreams are, in fact, reality. Covered in ashes, Olivia and Gage are found by a mysterious boy named Miles Teller who takes them to The Arcane- a unique group of people who also know that dreams are actuality. The Arcane tells Olivia and Gage that their parents might have had information of the rising dictator, Sammuel Darrien, who is working towards ruling a totalitarian government via dreams. Forced to travel with The Arcane's most trusted group to rescue their parents, they fly to Washington, DC: the source of Sammuel's reign. Time is thinning and the group must endure hallucination and deception if they ever want to find Olivia and Gage's parents and stop Sammuel. They say they'll do anything- but are they really ready to give up their humanity?
