Anthony Spencer is egotistical, proud of being a self-made
business success at the peak of his game, even though the cost of
winning was painfully high. A cerebral hemorrhage leaves Tony
comatose in a hospital ICU. He ''awakens'' to find himself in a
surreal world, a ''living'' landscape that mirrors dimensions of his
earthly life, from the beautiful to the corrupt. It is here that he
has vivid interactions with others he assumes are projections of
his own subconscious, but whose directions he follows nonetheless
with the possibility that they might lead to authenticity and
perhaps, redemption. The adventure draws Tony into deep relational
entanglements where he is able to ''see'' through the literal eyes
and experiences of others, but is "blind" to the consequences of
hiding his personal agenda and loss that emerge to war against the
processes of healing and trust. Will this unexpected coalescing of
events cause Tony to examine his life and realize he built a house
of cards on the poisoned grounds of a broken heart? Will he also
have the courage to make a critical choice that can undo a major
injustice he set in motion before falling into a coma?
