If the answers to all of life's mysteries were at your fingertips, would you want to know them?Like any of us, Jepsen Cross has a regular life, filled with work, family and good and bad times. Following his divorce, and while putting his life back together, he unwittingly becomes ensnarled in the mystery surrounding a mysterious and ancient box. As the legend goes, the world will continue as it always has if the box is left undisturbed. However, if it is opened, then every question that anyone has ever pondered would be answered, instantly. These range from the simple, such as, why did I have to get every red light on the way to work and why did that kid hate me in grade three, to the profound, like, what is fate's plan for my life and is there God. As he searches through the lore surrounding the fabled Everything Factor, and its secrets, Jepsen gets drawn into the middle of an age-old, secret war that is being waged between two clandestine groups. Each group has power and money. They operate below the radar of everyday society. One seeks to protect the factor, believing its knowledge is too vast for our world. The other seeks to share it with the masses. There is also a mysterious third group with unclear motives. As Jep deals with baffling and confounding events, tries to stay alive and travels throughout the world hunting to learn about himself, these groups, and the factor...the truth of its origins, and his own, will stretch back to the beginning of time as we know it. He will learn that knowledge is power, and that power corrupts.
