Obviously, there is not a single child in the world who would not have nightmares from time to time. But what if the horror of a dream gradually creeps into the real life? The two-year-old Theo's heart stopped suddenly during a simple operation. For thirty-six seconds, the boy stood on the edge between the world of the dead and the living. And then he returned. It took two years before Myron Belinsky realized that his son had not returned alone. Something came with Theo, it clung to him and slipped into his consciousness while the boy was on the other side of the line that most of us cross only once. In a desperate attempt to save his son, Myron travels to America, where the latest advances in neurotechnology allow us to look into the human dream. He has no idea that the desire to help leads to disaster, because the worst will begin as soon as something living in the the dreams of little Theo, realizes that it is being watched.

2141 year. Humanity on Earth has not yet recovered from Clodis disease, which led to the largest pandemic in half a century, when a new pathogen appears that infects exclusively pregnant women. A group of immunological scientists is trying to find out what it is and whether its appearance is related to the neutrino flares recorded around the planet. The population of the Martian Colonies exceeds one hundred thousand inhabitants, and a third of them were born on Mars. They lose out to super-specialists from Earth in the race for jobs in the knowledge-intensive economy of Mars and are forced to work like slaves in low-skilled manual jobs. The more they come of age, the more they yearn for change, not realizing that these changes threaten the very existence of the Colonies.
