Kelsey Darson falls from world to world doing what is needed of him in each new place, arriving always in a tme of crisis, on cue to play the hero.
He meets a woman who tells him she is his lover. He doesn't know her yet because, sjhe explains, they don't fall from world to world in the same order. Another man whom he encounters in world after world keeps trying to kill him. He does not know why. He will come to learn, in time, that the strange man seeks vengeance for a wrong not yet committed by Kelsey, a wrong that Kelsey has committed in revenge for an act that the man does not yet know he is to carry out.
Good, evil, love and vengeance spin out in a complex, non-linear tale that reveals itself by the end to be as elegant in its Moebius simplicity as it is timeless in its themes of love, rage, vengeance and remorse.
