Andy Cormier is a sheltered young man forced to confront the nature of human evil. . . and the demons within himself. His relationship with Daniela Lubjanovich, a young woman still haunted by memories of her war-torn homeland, has been strained by circumstances - most of all his inability to graduate college - and now his own checkered past has begun to resurface. A budding friendship with Ben Teitelberg, a graduate student harboring demons of his own, may represent a way out. . . or a way deeper in.
