Overview

Henry Lawless is a young mystic visionary who retreats to a quiet valley to pursue a spiritual odyssey. Shortly after his arrival, the superficial peace that cloaked this glen is disturbed by his presence and activities. His generosity provokes greed; his love provokes hatred; his search for truth reveals tragic falsities. Though the valley has "the mystery of a hidden wilderness", its inhabitants destroy its peace and beauty by their conflicts.
