Father Randolph Holton, a local parish priest, feels that he's lost his faith. His liturgies have fallen flat, and he's found it necessary to seek out the help of one of the newer priests aftermath to put some "oomph" back into his service. One day aftermath during the daily confessional, a mysterious man confesses that he thinks his life is in danger. Before Father Randolph can learn more, the man drops a post office box key and runs out of the church. Once aftermath he's retrieved the package, Randolph learns of the Lifestream. A parallel existence to the "real" world, the Lifestream allows you to live your heart's desire. Randolph is at once consumed by a hunger to find out more and, later, by the temptation of actually living in the Lifestream even though he knows that once inside he may not be able to return. Then Father Randolph disappears. No one hears from him for weeks. His son, John, is worried about his father's inexplicable disappearance, yet he cannot tell anyone of his concerns as it would ruin Randolph's reputation.
