Kansas City attorney Essie Kemp encounters an extraordinarily beautiful woman in the dairy aisle, who embarrasses him by reading his every thought. Later, hiking in a rural park, he has a stunning encounter with a silver flying saucer. His ordinary, humdrum life radically changes as he finds himself in the middle of a client's secret government anti-gravity research program and subsequently deals with Russian spies, UFOs, the Eleusinian Mysteries, hidden meanings in his dreams, dragons, Carl Jung, Harry Truman, Cole Younger's lost loot, and nuclear disarmament.
