The newsreels play in Wesley Dodds mind. It's the year 2021 and Wesley, retired from the superhero game for over sixty years, cannot seem to die. He approaches his one hundred and twelfth birthday on this planet still as physically fit and mentally sound as a man half his age. The Sandman may be in his past, but he can't he put it to bed.
And now, a great tragedy stirs him out of retirement. When a former friend is in need of avenging, Wesley puts on the suit, tie, and gas mask and once more ventures into the night.

P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ):
1. "In Dreams"
Wesley finds himself back in action when a estranged friend close to him dies suddenly under mysterious circumstances. As he starts to investigate his friend's life in the years since they last spoke, he discovers a twisted subculture dedicated to the fetishization of The JSA and the heroes of the era, the Sandman included.
2. "Goodnight Sweetheart"
People across Manhattan are falling asleep and not waking up. As reports of a new drug called "Coma" filter through the news, Wesley begins to investigate the trail. What seems a simple criminal enterprise begins to show signs of something deeper and more magical. Someone or something has their hands on a powerful artifact, an artifact with endless consequences.
