Nihilism and apostasy have swept the Earth after the discovery of a cave built by aliens. A scientific quest begins, striving to identify the ancient visitors as new gods or simple fugitives. But only the clinically suicidal may enter, because no one gets out.

Derrick, a tetchy young man with major depression, seeks salvation in the cave. He meets Sonja, a timid and traumatized woman hoping to slip alien knowledge outside to humanity. Driven to die, they venture down the alien tunnel where life and data can never escape—just another institution for them both. But can souls so broken escape the aliens' trap, or will they escape their own pain instead? And will mankind get the God replacement it has searched for?
