Gregorie Babin has existed in a gently lulling darkness for so long he's not even sure he's human anymore. Surrounded by four walls, without light or space in which to move, he has become what he envisions as a mollusk inside of a shell. Is he alive or dead, or perhaps in some kind of purgatory or hell? The answer to his mystery lies in a past he no longer remembers. It is only when random forces break him out of this perpetual darkness that he can begin to know the devastating truth-and what it means for his future.

Written with the author's signature talent for "psychological conflict . . . and emotional tension" (The Book Commentary), this is a speculative journey of a young man's desperate desire to get back home to the ones he loves. Prepare to be captivated by a tale that tests the boundaries of your imagination and leaves you questioning the darkness that lies within us all.
