Aris is a lonely university dropout who spends his days escaping into literary realms, in between his obsessive coffee-drinking habit. One day, he runs into an old acquaintance from a college writing club, Dennis. Dennis invites Aris to join him for dinner at the house of a mysterious Director, who claims to have visited other worlds, including one that is untouched by evil.
Little does Dennis know, Aris has already made a plan to go to the infamous Lake of Lost Souls and end his life. But on his way there, he crashes his bike right in front of the house of the Director. Against his better judgment, Aris decides to see if the promises of hope have any substance.
Through his time at the River House, he discovers that the demons that he thought were following him are, in fact, very real, and are out for blood. He discovers that healing is possible, if he can endure the opening of old wounds. Under the Director's wise, and sometimes infuriating, guidance, Aris must decide to embrace his life or throw it away once and for all.
