  Summary

  With his life slowly crumbling down around him, Dan Howell makes the impulsive decision to join a cult. Instead of finding the sense of community he so desperately craves, he’s flown out to live in a small cabin in the shadow of the Canadian Rockies with a mysterious man he’s never met, their only goal being to find a way to summon the being the cult fervently worships. Will he be able to see his purpose through, or will his own mind get in the way? Does he even have the choice to turn back?
