One man, two personalities. One hallucination, two origins. One objective, two agendas.Emmanuel East Jr. is haunted by the hallucination of a black serpent. He seeks out Dr. Mary Madruga’s help, who studies psychology in light of ancient esoteric wisdom in LA. He learns two things from her. One, a serpent is an ancient symbol of immortality. Two, he has a secondary personality. Emmanuel balances between his normal self and El, his alter ego—after exploring eastern mysticism in monasteries. El attracts Checkers Club, a secret society that schemes to reinstate Ancient Wisdom by engineering the dawn of a New Age.Emmanuel fits the bill to be the messianic figure, but it requires a great sacrifice from him. One, to achieve immortality. Two, to reinstate Ancient Wisdom so that others could attain immortality in the New World. Will he be able to defeat his biggest enemy—his own mind?Was his path intended or engineered?Most importantly, will he lead to the birth of a New World or its destruction?
