The story involves a young man, Will Powers, who is in the throes of malignant self-absorption and a potential victim of a satanic cult led by his father, who is the " leader" of a satanic group that regularly sacrifices animals. Fortunately, Will becomes involved in a successful but, at times, disturbing psychotherapy with a psychiatrist who has keen insights and is able to handle the powerful emotions that inevitably arise. As the psychotherapy unfolds, the evil dynamics behind destructive leaders is exposed.

The book includes an intriguing final section called "Existential Addenda," " an emotional revery involving a lecture sermon about a 'cure' of evil pedophile priests. And, II--- A dream of a psychiatrist's benevolent therapeutic revenge, which includes a confrontation (in a dream) with the parents of Jim Jones, Charles Manson, and other destructive leaders. The author concludes this section by noting, "Spiritual salvation never results from simply believing the correct idea or practicing a correct ritual. Spiritual salvation or wholeness requires hard psychological and spiritual work. The mind God created in a child needs to be treated respectfully and gently, like a valuable, delicate flower. Narrow, rigid, judgmental teaching can pervert it."
