Twelve-year-old Plum has spent her entire life at Brassmere Academy for the Extraordinary, a school that houses orphans with unusual abilities. Every night, she enters the dream world with her three closest friends: Vien, Gwendle, and Artem. Together they battle creatures and complete perilous missions in their shared dreamscape. Their routine shatters when Plum receives an ominous warning that danger threatens their group. The next morning brings devastating confirmation when Artem vanishes without explanation. Plum, Vien, and Gwendle launch a desperate search across both sleeping and waking realms to locate their missing friend. Their investigation exposes disturbing truths about Brassmere Academy and the real purposes behind its programs. Racing against time, the trio must navigate increasingly treacherous territory while questioning everything they believed about their home. The stakes climb higher as they realize Artem's disappearance may only be the beginning, and they could become the next targets.
