Have you ever lied to yourself about your life? Do you have secrets you’ve hidden away — secrets that would destroy the house of cards you’ve built? Seduced into living the life her husband has built for her. Enwrapped in a family that is not hers. Stuck in a marriage that is literally killing her. Orphaned and broke, Sarah feels trapped in someone else’s life.

Under deep meditation, Sarah battles a mysterious living storm and her own past demons. With the help of her guru’s spirits, Sarah escapes the storm, but it leaves behind a new world, seizing everything man-made from the planet, releasing nature to transform the earth and bestowing Sarah with unique but dangerous strengths.
