Life getting you down? Need an escape? Just send a request to the Dream Merchant for your very own designer dream and a dream runner will deliver it right to your door. Of course, there is always a price...

When news of her estranged mother's death calls her back to the hometown she swore she'd never set foot in again, Jesse Davison hopes for some time to sort out ten years of tangled emotions. But her job doesn't exactly allow personal days. She's been forced into service as a runner by the Dream Merchant to pay back a debt for her own dream of revenge, and there are always orders to fill.

Turns out Jesse has inherited a whole lot more than the family farm, and solving the mystery of her mother's death gets even more complicated when her ex-boyfriend Will Alderson shows up. She's been dreaming of killing him for the last ten years, but maybe he is the one person who can help her.
