For Michael Seymour, his life changed forever when he passed through a magical gate into a fast- changing "other world" far away from his home in New Mexico. Michael is cast into a bizarre mirror world of stark reality...a place where truth and delusion collide. Through a series of devastating events, Michael wonders if he will ever find his way back home. From a tangible world through a magical gate a path leads Michael forward on a fantastic journey where he must confront his greatest fears and discover his true loves and desires.
