However, it seems that the local residents may have bigger problems than battling their spiritual confusions, as Norman discovers a number of his prospective clients dead in their own homes. Mistaken for the perpetrator and hounded by the police, Norman must persevere in order to bring well being and clarity to a world where everything has stopped making sense.
