College Freshman Nicole Nicholson is trying to make a new start at college after a somewhat traumatic childhood. But around Halloween she receives an anonymous gift and thereafter she starts to experience various disturbing nocturnal ailments (nightmares, talking in her sleep, etc.) that make the young agnostic wonder if the supernatural realm really does exist after all.

This is the inaugural report in the CSIS Defense Outlook Series, an annual review of what happened in the U.S. Department of Defense in the past year and what CSIS experts are looking for in the next. It is meant to serve as a roadmap to track where the course of policy and actions relating to strategy, budget, forces, and acquisition has run and what curves lie ahead.
