Debut author, Ashley Hackett, takes us on a mind trip to the depths of his soul — in the gritty heart of New York City 1996, Ash is a troubled dropout haunted by his abusive father's suicide and his brother's disappearance.

Intoxicated by the abandoned tunnels and the illegal rave scene, he numbs his pain with its fleeting pleasures – until he meets Melanie, a radiant hedonist that awakens every particle in his being. The connection transcends the realms of body, space, and time. But when a diabolical figure enters the threshold, Ash's world shatters.

Grief becomes a doorway to something bigger: a spiritual awakening that transcends pain and death. How can one remain blissful when all that one loves dies? Or does anything really die?
