   Summary

   The last ten years have been nothing but trauma, and after fighting the good fight, you decide to retreat from the fray and build a peaceful life for yourself in a small town. All you want is to enjoy the natural beauty of the New York countryside, to practice your faith and work on your art... until a chance encounter with a masked monk sends you both on a quest to find your true home.
