Faced with the disintegration of their marriage, Matt Wheelock and Michelle Lomax turn to a charismatic philosopher known only as the Teacher for guidance and support. The Teacher, seemingly a man without an identity, preaches a message of a sublime universe of mind beyond our own material plane, hidden from all but the enlightened few. When two of the Teacher's acolytes die in a very public act of suicide, his remaining followers find themselves drawn into his world of deception and paranoia. They embark on a chaotic trek across Mexico and Central America, running toward a haven that only the Teacher can find, and from a threat that only he can identify. Along the way, they all find their most fundamental assumptions about who they are being challenged. Some will return unscathed, others will be changed forever – and some won't make it back at all. At the end of the road, Matt and Michelle will find that not only are there no easy answers to the questions they started out with, but that the questions themselves may no longer have any meaning.
Jacob Carlyle has been living his best life as a successful political pundit. His comfortable existence goes into meltdown, however, when right-wing activists go public with a hidden-camera video of Jacob in a hotel room with the married son of an ultra-conservative politician. Suddenly Jacob is the target of attacks from both ends of the political spectrum, and he retreats to his late grandfather's remote farmhouse to try to sort out the mess he has made of his life. He finds an ally in childhood friend Benny Stokes, and with Benny's quiet encouragement Jacob finally begins work on his long-delayed novel, although not without distractions from invading wildlife, a hostile barn cat, eccentric contractors, and his evolving feelings for Benny. Jacob soon discovers that he can't build a future without first coming to grips with the past.
