Constantly facing the peril of his calling, Cody begins to have dreams and visions of a beguiling goddess who beckons him from beyond the stars. After a tragic event leaves him heartbroken, this goddess guides Cody on an incredible spiritual journey to a mystical place where he experiences a new vision of paradise and human destiny; a destination so astonishing that it could only exist... far beyond heaven.
