Plot Summary

Dominick Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state. His rare ability has made him a coveted player in the treacherous new world of corporate espionage but has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now, Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible—inception.
