Synopsis
The year is 1938. By day Wesley Dodds, son of the late investor Edward Dodds, appears to be just another innocuous member of New York City's social elite. But each night Wesley is haunted by prophetic visions of evil that plague his dreams. No longer able to ignore the violence in these premonitions, Wesley decides to stalk the waking world for criminals who hide themselves beneath society's callous indifference. Armed with a gas mask and a tranquilizing gas gun, he now dispenses justice… as the Sandman.
