But destiny has other plans. Encounters with extraordinary individuals reignite his desire to transcend the illusions of the material world, escape the world of Maya and touch the infinite.
Will he succeed and achieve the impossible? Or will he give up and turn into yet another bitter, cynical and disillusioned man, like the many others who set out on the same path?
