The Institute

Meek librarian Peter Cooper awakens from the latest in a long line of prophetic nightmares on the day of his interview with local teleportation company 'Trans-Port'. At the interview he meets company Director and celebrity scientist William Carver and his preposing assistant Claire.
They give him a demonstration of the device and, despite his initial doubts regarding his suitability, Peter is told to report for work on Monday. But there is a huge catch awaiting him. Peter is persuaded to play the role of guinea pig in the team's latest and very risky-sounding 'Transference' project.
Peter is sent, for just a few bewildering moments, to another version of his own sleepy town of Capistrano. The whole experience is gut-wrenchingly mind-blowing but far worse is to come. On his return Peter is coldly informed that his runaway father John was the inventor of the Transference and that he used it to escape justice after accidentally killing Peter's mother in a fight over the young boy twenty year's previously.
Transport want their founder and top scientist back to make the technology work for everyone. At the moment It's only John that can use the Transference, and, mysteriously Peter, who is told that his father programmed the project to just recognise his and his son's DNA in the teleportation. Carver admits that the fight between his parents was caused by John using Peter as an experimental traveller between the two worlds when he was a boy, a memory he's been forced to forget.
Carver wants Peter to spend a week in the other Capistrano to find his errant father and bring him back. There are both medical and financial reasons why Peter should accept this mission but mostly he wants to find out the truth. But Peter has not reckoned with TransPort's mysterious backers, The Institute.
And the final dark revelation about who and what this shadowy company really are will tear his already precarious grip on reality to shreds..
