Synopsis

A dangerous psychic called 'Soon' is held prisoner in a lunatic asylum in the Cursed Earth on account of his vast powers. When Soon escapes and threatens Mega-City One, Judge Dredd and a cadre of cadets are sent to stop him, only for Dredd to be framed for murdering the cadets.

The book features the return of another psychic called Hope, who first appeared in 1991 in the Judge Anderson story Engram (in 2000 AD # 712–717 and 758–763).
