The agenda to control the masses may be true. Most people today have heard of the Illuminati - a dark, evil, and sinister group that some say controls the world and whose powerful influence reaches into governments, religious powers, and the world's largest corporations. They are unseen, unheard, and yet their power and intent is clear - to change the world for their own ends.

This is a mad, mad world. Our species is growing at an alarming rate; the globe is warming out of control; our food sources are being depleted; a massive energy crisis is looming and the pressure on each and every one of us to earn more, compete with our peers and look cool is so great that suicide rates are growing faster than ever. It's a world of chaos and corruption but there is a way out. The other choice is to live clean, happy and free without the influence of the world outside. Everyone dies but not everyone truly lives, which will you choose?

Then their paths cross, and life will never be the same again for either Thadow or Trilia and Lateron.

As they prepare to leave New England, Charlie has one of his dreams - a murder and a kidnapping - only it's happening in real time in the Sunshine State. The dead man is a former circus midget who worked with Twait, Bando, and Rose in their sideshow days. And that's just the first murder.
