A drive-by shooting ... an innocent teenager is killed. Paul comes home for his baby brother's funeral. He's outraged; in the military, he's fighting in foreign lands but he's now discovered that the war's also in the streets at home. His other brother, Jack, a school psychologist, is cool, controlled and thinks criminals should be understood.

Philosophically worlds apart, the brothers are drawn together as they hunt the killer. The love triangle is a beautiful teacher, Michele — Jack's fantasy and eventually, Paul's reality. She's a fragile, ethereal looking woman who's a lot more than she pretends to be — she's really an under-cover vice cop. She joins them in their search for justice.

As the action escalates, they're caught up in the horror of modern day science ... DNA splicing has created an infectious hypnosis powder — Mind Blow — that totally enslaves its victims. Mind Blow — a drug created out of today's science. A drug which may already exist. One strand of the web surrounding their brother's death.
