Sam's thrilling journey continues with his quest to find the chosen dreamers, to stop the ever-increasing power of a number of enemies and save the world. The search continues across the globe from Paris to Brazil and on to Cuba, where Sam has to rely on his dream memories, his skills, his stealth suit, Academy friends and on the skills of the dreamer he must find.
