Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in the treacherous new world of corporate espionage. However, it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible—inception. Instead of stealing an idea, Cobb and his team of specialists have to do the reverse, planting one.
