Steve Martin, serving a prison term at a correctional facility in New York, is to be let out on parole that morning and by sheer quirk of fate comes in possession of a micro-chip that contains a diabolic scheme to wipe out a race from the Indian sub-continent. The plot thickens as some ordinary people from different geographies are drifted into it to play their focal roles. The young student reporter Siva s desperate attempts to alert the authorities fall on deaf ears. The story unfolds in Central Manhattan, New York; traverses through Clinton Correctional facility, Bushwick ghetto, Nassau County, and culminates on the ghats of Varanasi, the sacred City of the Dead. The author gives a philosophical twist to our very existence and raises doubts about Siva s magnificent sacrifice; the dubious roles played by Steve Martin and Dr Kevin Castorfield; (was it all worth it?) discovers that there s some order even in chaos. Cunning, deceit, failure, hate, betrayal, love, hope, resilience, success, peace ... every feeling is what you create in a mind conditioned to feel so. It is all in the mind and this too shall pass.
