During his voyage to a new life in the Sirius Colonies, an accident exposed Matt's unprotected brain to the "Mind Rip"; the reality of FTL physics where time and space simultaneously expand and collide. Instead of destroying his mind, however, he suppressed the memories. They now lay hidden deep in his subconscious threatening at all times to break free. Now a serial killer has found a way to beat the colonies "perfect" security system. In a dome city where everyone is tracked every moment of the day, the killer has found a way to move about undetected. When the system fails them, the colony turns to the only detective trained outside that system, Dales. Can a detective with PTSD maintain control as he follows a trail of clues and corpses? Will his uncontrolled visions help him to stop the killing before the mental barriers that hold the Mind Rip at bay collapse dooming him to scream to death? On his journey to the new world, Matt's unprotected mind is exposed to the brain-destroying conditions of the "mind rip," a time and space collision that exists beyond the light speed barrier. Instead of being destroyed, however, his brain suppresses visions of the future, burying them deep in his subconscious. Emerging as dreams, hunches, and post traumatic flashes, these memories threaten to destroy his sanity should they ever resurface. No crime goes unpunished on Sirius. The central computer tracks everyone, but, in the most secure society ever created, a serial killer has found a way to beat the system. Now only a man who has visions of the future can stop the killing.
