Allison’s plane lands in New York on a wintry November afternoon in 1998. In America she attempts to escape the stasis of life in Australia. Enrolled in a philosophy degree at Columbia University she sets about her life, trying to unravel her existential emptiness.

In the previous year she began to experience strange altered mental patterns and rhythms of convergence as her life begins to synchronize perfectly with those around her; she passes into a world of immortality.

Looking for answers to her strange experiences, she flounders until she meets Hooman. Together they begin to explore the religious and philosophical principles of Hooman’s religion: the Baha’i Faith. They come to realize that the world they knew never existed to begin with; a new world, both disturbingly beautiful and sublime, rises up to meet them, and they will never be the same again.
