It is 1980 in St. Louis, Missouri, when fourteen-year-old Adam Tangere is admitted to the hospital with an unknown blood disorder. As his doctors struggle to treat him, Adam discovers that grief is the most powerful emotion of all after a family friend is killed in an accident. In the midst of the trauma, Adam has a dream where he learns he has a destiny to fulfill great things in life, with help from a gift he never knew he had. But is it a gift or a curse?

Many years and experiences later, it is 2016 as Adam walks slowly along the tiles that form the expansive plaza of the Mansudae Grand Monument in Pyongyang, the capital city of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. As dark clouds roil above and along the hillside, adding a foreboding air to the inner tension he feels, he wonders how long he has thought of this day. It is now here-the day he will change history.

In this geopolitical tale, a man with a greater destiny than he ever imagined embarks on a personal quest of honor from his childhood to the Korean Peninsula and back to the United States.
