Cody has always questioned the stories people are told to accept—about religion, race, politics, history, power and even themselves. Then his questions begin attracting answers, followers and consequences.
What starts as conversation spreads through artists, students, believers, skeptics, outsiders and people searching for somewhere to belong. But an idea can become something very different once other people begin speaking in its name.
Told through intersecting voices, the novel explores music, faith, conspiracy, addiction, love, identity and the dangerous distance between creating an idea and controlling what it becomes.
