Angol
Elmer Widden lives an unextraordinary life. His kids are in college, his marriage is stagnant, his career in law enforcement has more or less flatlined. But things are, in a word, fine. He keeps busy enough to circumvent being completely depressed about life, and isn't that all anyone can ask for?
There are no disturbances, no surprises. Elmer writes traffic tickets on the clock and tinkers with his hobbies off it. Whether at home or in the field, he knows precisely what to expect.
Until, one day, he doesn't.
A shot to the chest reshapes Elmer's world, altering his sense of what's real and what's not so that he no longer recognizes the truth. After all, it's hard to know what to believe when you're hopped up on stress and pain meds-throw in a few out-of-body experiences and it's impossible.
As Elmer grapples with this new tenuous grip on reality, he has to take a journey into both his past and another realm. Along with his own military trauma, police work, and family strife, Elmer must solve an old murder investigation led by a colorful spirit, followed by a series of cold cases, to understand his path forward.
But how do you find your purpose when you can't even find where your head's at? Between alternate dimensions and supernatural entities, Elmer questions his own mind-only to discover that perhaps real life isn't as simple as his old one led him to think.
