After briefly losing consciousness as the result of an automobile accident, Nick Sands feels lucky to be alive.
A few hours later he's not so sure.
Before the accident he was a successful San Francisco lawyer on his way to a deposition in Los Angeles. After the accident, he's a faded, 50-year-old rock star scheduled to headline a 90's nostalgia concert later that week in LA. People know him in this alternate world as Nick Sands, the former rock star. And while Nick remembers his real life in San Francisco, he also has all the memories of the rock star's life.
During his bizarre odyssey in the alternate world, Nick meets people who remind him of Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison, but they are not rock stars in the parallel world. Nick is truly through the looking glass when he meets eccentric characters, like Rebecca, a psychiatrist/parapsychologist specializing in Parallel Reality Therapy, and The Thin Man, a secretive tech genius and multi-billionaire who has devised a chamber that projects virtual reality images created by the brain, simulating how the mind actually creates reality.
In The Thin Man's chamber Nick's journey takes several mind-bending turns.
But nothing can prepare him for how that journey ends.
