In this spiritual mystery, therapist Robert Davis has his world turned upside down when he meets long-term meditator, psychiatrist, and suicidal patient, Dr. Vigo Andersen. Why, he asks, would anyone who has been meditating for more than thirty years try to kill himself? Meditation is intended to create moments of peace, not longing for death, right? As Robert's quest for answers takes unexpected twists and turns, it creates intense inner battles, threatening his own meditation practice, his family life, his sobriety, and even his sanity.
