Dak opens his eyes in a world that shouldn't exist. The former intelligence operative finds himself in an alternate reality where the Cold War continues and nuclear war threatens humanity. His last mission went wrong, but now he faces something worse than failure. He must dodge KGB operatives who want him dead while piecing together a conspiracy that reaches across multiple dimensions. Each reality traps him in a different version of the same deadly game. The deeper Dak digs, the more he discovers about his own role in creating this nightmare. He races against time to break free from the cycle of alternate worlds, but escape means confronting the decisions that brought him here. Dak must choose between the safety of ignorance and the dangerous truth about power, identity, and the thin line between realities.
