As the summer of 1923 wanes, Beckham Barclay travels across the Atlantic to continue his studies under the tutelage of his uncle Rowan, said to be one of the best psychologists of the modern age. But when he arrives in America everything is weirder than he thought. Both his uncle and the manor that’s become his new residence are filled with mysteries and none of the answers Beck is looking for. Just when he thinks he’s hit a dead end, Rowan opens Beck’s mind to the Reverie – the space between sleeping and awake – where the inner workings of the mind are made manifest. In this dream realm, his uncle introduces him to worlds and wonders that warp everything he thought he knew about reality.
