Newell is many things. Part Blackfoot Indian and part schizophrenic, he is also a genius who is too advanced for his time, strung out between fantasy and reality. He creates art and artistic projects that are superb but unappreciated; his autobiography is a piece of the finest writing ever put to paper-those who read it fall in love with him at once. But he can't find a medium to get it out into the world. Severely depressed and anxious, tormented by agonizing headaches most of his life, Newell has a nervous breakdown. Under its spell, and with the help of guides on a higher existential plane, he learns the secret of existence and why he is a key member of it, but also an alien to it. Unfortunately, it just might be too late for the rest of mankind to learn from the knowledge he has gained.
