Publisher's Synopsis
After the "multitudes" contained in a man's subconscious become flesh and blood, one of the multitudes recruits him to stop another from destroying the world.
Dalton Nagg returns to his New York City apartment to find his door ajar and an uninvited guest waiting for him, multibillionaire Marlon Argot, who informs him that the contradictory multitudes contained in Dalton's subconscious have escaped into the world as real human beings and, unless they take immediate action to stop them, will wreak havoc. Despite Marlin's outrageous claim, Dalton finds himself minutes later in Marlon's limo whisked to a former cookie factory, now a clandestine corporate outpost in downtown Manhattan, where he learns the chilling extent of Marlon's wealth and power, and that he is not one to lie. Still, Dalton remains dubious, until Marlon forces him to encounter the versions of himself he has unleashed into the world, and at first they appear harmless. The young and hopeless. The disillusioned and despairing. The lost and lovelorn. But then he comes across the deceptive and diabolical in the form of Towne Blanchett, who to millions of fans is a much beloved popular musician. But Blanchett has a terrifying secret. He's also a brutal serial killer and aspiring mass murderer, who with the help of another one of Dalton's multitudes will soon have what he needs to destroy the world. And only Dalton can stop him, but will he have the courage to confront Blanchett head on - to reclaim his uncontained multitudes, whose collective pain he has denied for far too long, before it's too late?
