Grad school painter and slide librarian Arthur Stacy decided long ago that an afterlife was the ultimate choose-your-own adventure story. When his skull is crushed by a shovel-wielding
stranger, Arthur finds out just how right he was as his split-consciousness embarks on a revelatory, mysterious and nostalgic journey along Venetian canals, on Californian shores, and through a
Buddhist monastery. Could any of these places really be what they seem? Follow Arthur Stacy into a new and bizarre world, where a single museum owns all the artistic treasures of the world, the
creative must hide in the shadows, and an enigmatic redhead awaits with revolutionary plans of her own.
