Drawn by the magnetic power of these movements, Adrian struggles to find his own place in relation to them as he discovers another force within himself that leads him toward a completely different way of facing life. When he finds and joins a group of like-minded seekers, he embarks upon a spiritual journey that leads him deeply inward in the midst of the inner forces that drive him and the dramatically changing world around him.
