With the turn of the 21st century numerous apocalyptic prophecies abound predicting the ends of time, but Jonathan Callahan, a mild mannered Federal Government attorney, with some psychic ability, faces a more real nemesis, his petulant, sharp-tongued wife. Somehow he has survived almost twenty-five years of marriage and has raised two precocious teenagers daughters in the process. Yet, a miracle occurs and his wife agrees to a divorce. However, nothing is simple or easy for Jonathan. Soon he is fighting the almost ex-wife for both permanent custody of his two girls and anything else of value that isn’t nailed down. Jonathan’s best friend, a spirit guide named Masters, returns after six years, but to Jonathan’s dismay, Masters isn’t offering assistance, he’s enlisting Jonathan to help defeat a mysterious evil threatening this corner of the universe. With his domestic and universal peace efforts thwarted at every turn, ultimately, to survive, Jonathan must confront and conquer not only his almost ex-wife and the demons that attack him in his sleep, but he must finally face the shadows of his sealed past lurking within the dark corridors of his mind.
