Nick had always considered his life to be relatively normal. One Sunday, however, three unexpected events force him he to radically rethink this assessment. After being unexpectedly denounced as the embodiment of sin, informed by a talkative raven that he has been chosen to save humanity, and then implored for help from malevolent shadows by a random woman in a parking lot, things really start to get weird. Although Nick is an unlikely (and not altogether willing) hero, when animals begin to pop up spouting apocalyptic Jungian psychology, what real choice does he have but to listen?
Mankind's collective unconscious is dying, causing rifts to form between conscious reality and the shadow world. As these chasms grow, hostile animated shadows are beginning to leak through the cracks into physical reality. Unless he can seal the rifts, all of conscious human reality will be doomed. Reluctantly, Nick embarks on a surreal journey, encountering nine different animal totems and seeking the aid of a witch, an oracle, and evasive subliminal agents as he clumsily battles against the denizens of shadow.
With a bit of luck, he might even figure out how to win Susan's heart along the way. But will he be able to find a way to close the rift between worlds before it's too late?
