Prescription for a Superior Existence

Jack Smith's life revolves around work, alcohol, painkillers, and pornography, and he sees no reason to change. But when he falls in love with the daughter of the leader of a new Californian religion, known as Prescription for a Superior Existence, his humdrum life is changed forever. Abducted and enrolled at one of PASE's spiritual training centres, his scepticism is challenged by a sense of community and purpose previously unknown to him. He discovers that he might not be average - he might even be extraordinary! But nothing is as it seems, and the question of whether he and those around him are headed toward transcendence or annihilation soon takes on global significance.
