Professor Angus and his three 14 year old kids, Tristan, Esteban and Sarah make up the NIGHTMARE BRIGADE - saving people from the terrors of the night one nightmare at a time. In this volume, the gang faces their biggest challenge yet - the mad mind of Leonard - to save Tristan's beloved mother, Alice. She ventured into Leonard's dreams ten years ago, but got trapped when the dream turned tragic. Tristan and Angus have gotten more experienced and the Brigade is bigger and better than ever, but to save Alice requires more; it means delving into Alice's own past to bring her into the NIGHTMARE BRIGADE's future. Can they do it? And what will happen if they do...?
