It is the new millennium. Ordinary people are daily influenced, controlled and manipulated by the electronic media. The world at large demands to see events unfold in real time. While ten years ago the first Internet generation was prepared to wait fifteen seconds for a personal computer to download pictures of a world catastrophe, now the 'ordinary Joe, ' clicking his iPhone in the street complains if he can't download live footage of death and destruction within a matter of seconds. A bank robbery goes bad. Five innocent bystanders are shot dead. The gang, two of whom have been accidentally shot by their own team, go to ground in a cave. The media stumble on their lair and without the knowledge of the robbers, film the last few days of their lives. It is a 'Live Feed' that soon become a worldwide feeding frenzy. But who exactly are the bad guys? The finale is totally shocking.

Dermot Nolan is an award-winning bestselling author who seems to have it all—a successful career, fame, fortune, and a beautiful wife. Between the royalties coming in from his most recent book and the revenue he has received from the film company that bought the rights, Dermot seems every bit the literary darling.And yet, for the last year, he has suffered from a bout of writer’s block, and in the process has grossly overspent his income. So when Dermot comes across an unsolicited manuscript stuffed into his mailbox, he cannot help but feel intrigued. It tells the story of the homicidal “Dream Healer,” who snares his victims via his website, worstnightmares.net, seduces them into revealing their innermost fears, and then kills them by revisiting their very own nightmares upon them.

Dermot, with the help of his wife, begins to rework the novel, while simultaneously researching the individual dream stories. In his search, he very slowly begins to realize that the novel may not be entirely fictional, that these poor characters may have perished at the hands of a twisted torturer. Could the Dreamhealer be real? Could these innocent cyber-surfers have fallen victim to a raving maniac? Just how far is fact from fiction? And could Dermot be writing his own ticket to death...his very own worst nightmare?
