| Long Description |
During the Korean War, each fighting division was assigned their own Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. The goal of these MASH units was to reduce permanent injury and death through better treatment on the battlefield. Because of the proximity to the front lines, these units were organized around the possibility of being able to break down and move their location within 6 hours. Since they remained close to the battlefield, they were always ready for action. The units saved many lives and, through ingenuity, significant advancements were made in medicine. Contrary to the popular media culture that MASH units practiced "meatball surgery", the work accomplished by these units was experimental at times but highly successful. |

Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being 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 the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. |
