Description
Jack Smith's life revolves around work, alcohol, painkillers, and pornography, and he sees no reason to change. But when he falls in love with the daughter of the leader of a new Californian religion, known as Prescription for a Superior Existence, his humdrum life is changed forever. Abducted and enrolled at one of PASE's spiritual training centres, his scepticism is challenged by a sense of community and purpose previously unknown to him. He discovers that he might not be average - he might even be extraordinary! But nothing is as it seems, and the question of whether he and those around him are headed toward transcendence or annihilation soon takes on global significance.
Description
Inadvertently falling in love with the daughter of a religious cult leader, businessman Jack Smith is abducted and subsequently indoctrinated within the cult's confines, where he experiences a profound sense of community before becoming wary of its plans for a possible group suicide.
