President Laura Roslin bears a heavy burden.

Since becoming the president of the twelve human colonies, she had been the voice of civil authority and a source of inspiration to the tens of thousands who survive on Galactica and the other colonial ships.

They look to her for honesty, integrity, and courage. And most importantly, for the prophecy she dreamed in a powerful vision: We will find Earth.

Recently, she has had new dreams: nightmares of a galaxy overrun by Cylons. Is her sleeping mind simply working through her doubts and fears? Or is she having visions of an inevitable future? Roslin has fought the ravages of cancer since before the Cylon attack. She wonders whether these terrible dreams are caused by the powerful medication she takes, or by something else. Could they be another vision?

Whatever their cause, her dreams may endanger the fleet. The Midguardians, radicals who believe that the end of humanity is coming soon, take President Roslin's nightmares as the sign for whicg they've been waiting...and now, they will act to fulfill their own dark prophecies.

She's the president, responsible for the welfare of all surviving humanity. Her vision of Earth seemed to be their salvation. Will her nightmares now cause their annihilation?
