When Soleil Browne, a librarian working in a Boston museum, agrees to participate in the Dreamscape project, she is annoyed to discover that the project's director is Dr. Andy McKay, a former love. In a series of haunting and terrifying dreams monitored by McKay, she enters a small town in 1930s Ohio and encounters Shoe, a 12-year-old girl whose face is permanently marred from an accident. Soleil's dream world and reality intermingle when Shoe is pursued by a sinister townsperson and Soleil finds that she, too, is being stalked. Although physically sickened by the dream experiences, Soleil realizes that she is Shoe's only hope for survival.
