When a wandering, soul-searching shepherd, a runaway ram and his fearless family venture beyond Paradox Valley, they discover new ways of thinking and a glorious world of possibilities. As they explore obscure topics and unfamiliar terrain in the Forsaken Mountains, each undergoes a profound transformation that allows them to pursue their potential. Even when their endeavors fail or turn tragic, they gain awareness, strength, understanding and nuggets of truth. They experience the great awakening of the mind, heart and spirit. They free their souls to the heavens and enter a golden age of enlightenment. In this sequel to "Paradox: Valley of the Sheeple," everyone has the opportunity to experience the great awakening, but only a few are bold enough to embrace the rewards, risks and responsibilities of pursuing knowledge, love and freedom. Most of the inhabitants of Ransom Ranch are entranced in a collective coma. Some are annoyed by the prospect of being awakened or oblivious to the idea of independence, while other characters are imprisoned by their own doubts, fears, dependencies or internal demons.
