Set in the inhospitable Iron Range in fictitious Atherton, Hickerson County, Wisconsin, a snowball's throw from the Icy Lady--Lake Superior this psychic modern day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde encompasses two generations from 1960 to 2031. 18-Year-old virgin, Lucas Jordan, in a cemetery is struck by lightning super-bolts originating from the Aurora Borealis--Northern Lights, he dies but after contact with antimatter in metaphysical sex he resurrects in hellish pain. He is given the gift of psychic abilities, is cursed with unholy resurrection, at the cost of epilepsy. Cursed with sixth-sensory capabilities, Lucas Jordan dies and resurrects, each time paying a price, not 30 shekels of silver that led to another more holy resurrection, but with the price of micro-cellular mutation--cancer. To quote the Bible in the book of Corinthians, Lucas saw through the glass darkly.
