Sam is a gay man who has written a memoir about his early messed-up life, immersed in drugs and sex. Even in sobriety, he has continued to sabotage his relationships with other men. At a party, he overhears someone talking about a shaman who can do the equivalent of ten years of therapy in a single weekend. He and Buck, the host of the dinner party, go to meet Jacob, the shaman, to learn about his field of "transdimensional intercession." They decide that they're willing to give the process a try.The book switches back and forth between Sam's past relationships and the present, weekend-long session with the shaman. If the reader is firmly entrenched in the here and now, the mystical connections might be hard to swallow, but the factors that have caused Sam's brokenness are very believable.
