On a frigid
night at Tibet's Drepung Monastery, Lama
Tenzin Tashi is awakened by a fervent
knocking on his door. Quickly he realizes
these raps are a dreaded harbinger, one
which will launch him on a quest to satisfy
a vow, a blasphemous promise he wishes he
had never made.
But at this
point, the lama has no other choice. The
journey must be undertaken, no matter the
cost.
Thus begins an
odyssey that spans not only his life, but
also the life of a man born near the
small town of Davidson, Oklahoma. Who could
comprehend how inexplicably intertwined
their pathways would become as they pushed
aside the veil that concealed the hidden
secrets of death?
