Wild Palms: The Dream Begins

THEY SAID THE REVOLUTION WOULDN'T BE TELEVISED. THEY WERE WRONG. Los Angeles. 2007. Reality is about to change for lawyer Harry Wyckoff and his wife Grace. His new position with the powerful television network Channel 3 will at last buy him that beach-house he's dreamt of for so long. But all dreams have their price and Channel 3 boss Senator Anton Kreutzer is the ultimate dream maker. His vision- of beaming a new kind of interactive, virtual reality in every living room-is a relentless obsession. CHURCH WINDOWS, his virtual sitcom of the future is only the beginning. Yet the Senator's desire for "a world where people are not afraid to leave their dreams open at night" is not everyone's fantasy. His powerful organisation -the Fathers-have many opponents. Among them, the underground revolutionaries known simply as the Friends. As the debut of CHURCH WINDOWS draws nearer, Harry's having frequent nightmares and now they're seeping into reality: What does old flame Paige Katz want from him? Why is Grace disintegrating before his eyes? How far will his mother-in-law Josie go? What the meaning of the White rhino? What would a reality controlled by the Senator really be like?
