This book is about the basis of Reality. It brushes a penetrating, original and wide view to answer the deepest questions about the mysteries of life. The writing has been motivated by live experiences leading to a personal understanding of what is mostly considered as unknown. It goes from the nature of our physical world, of the working of the senses, to a detailed description of life after death. It brushes to the concept of God, Soul, and how we form our destiny. The scope raises boldly above religions and science, in a most direct style, easy to understand. This convincing and dense expression will highlight new perspectives at many re-readings. A first reader wrote: "Amazingly fantastic, mind blowing."

The protagonist, Paul Satin, finds himself inside a pub, doesn't know how he got there and can't seem to leave. He meets and converses with other characters who are a mixture of royalty, psychology, science, philosophy, occultist, disabled and religious. Questions and arguments abound, blended with humour and love.

In 1981, Laura Fitzgerald, a young archaeologist, arrives on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, Indigenous Reserve called Waglisla, Bella Bella or the Passage by local people. With only an academic understanding of these people, she learns that Waglisla is a dynamic culture and that the people who live in the village are not the stereotype she previously had. Laura is taken under the wing of Chief Charlie Hunt and begins the process of acceptance. Along with two young people from the village, she explores the remains of wooden surface artifacts in the region. She learns about the fascinating history of the Heiltsuk culture, whose traditional territories once covered thousands of square kilometres on the Coast. Laura falls in love with a Heiltsuk man, Daniel, who is the nephew of Chief Charlie Hunt. This leads to romantic suspense and a struggle between cultures as the two try to find common ground to form a basis for a relationship. Laura discovers through a Heiltsuk Elder, Maggie, about the dark past of the colonial era. This past is marred by population decimation and residential schools that nearly destroyed the Heiltsuk peoples. This darkness spills over into the lives of the current residents. Laura has recurring and prophetic dreams where she is visited by the famous anthropologist, Franz Boas. Through the eyes of Jenn, Chief Charlie's young granddaughter, she comes to believe that the Heiltsuk will recover and flourish.
