After struggling for mental clarity through domestic violence for fifteen years, at thirty-three, Lina leaves her family home and her two teenage sons and begins a journey of soul retrieval. Curiosity about her sexual appetites leads to casual relationships. However, she has yet to uncover primal fears about death and exile, and she marries again.

Memories of being a divine sexual consort disturb her need for a secure love. Upon turning forty, she travels solo to the Middle East, seeking recognition for her spiritual sexuality. Meeting lovers from past lives destabilises her, and she drops into continual remembrance of entombment and loss of identity. Becoming ill, she must find a way to complete her mission to reach the temple of Ascension, Karnak, Egypt.
