Follow the bittersweet story of a young man who is fleeing an abusive home life and seeking respite as he journeys to and descends into a mountain called Hamartia*. This strange mountain is outwardly glorious but soon betrays the fact that it is a deadly trap filled with treacherous terrain, shadowy people, and a terrifying mystical dimension. Haunted by his past life experiences, he quickly finds out that the evil forces within this wretched mountain can be much worse than the life from which he was fleeing. Hope and despair wage heart-rending battles for complete control of his very soul as he encounters various characters and circumstances inside the depths of this mysterious mountain. By the time he reaches the bottom of this seemingly desperate and godforsaken place, his life has unraveled and spiraled completely out of control. It is in these murky depths that he is surprised to find one final chance at redemption. The choice he makes will forever change his life. Which one will he make? Which one would you make? *Harmartia is a Greek word, meaning, "to miss the mark." It describes poor judgment that leads to tragic consequences in the life of those who err.
