In an alternate near-future, social classes are divided into parallel layers of reality called Strata. Lydia is a young woman with everything going for her- a nice apartment, stable finances, and a favorable government job at the US Dept. of the Prism. Yet as she commits to building her career, she finds herself feeling isolated and unsatisfied, and addicted to a dream of love. But when she finds out her dreams are actually forgotten memories from another reality, Lydia is forced to consider if she’s willing to risk her reality to make a better one.
