Munky exemplifies how hard drugs lead to hard drama, and he echoes many truths which are profound realizations of a life lived knocking on death's door. Interwoven with Munky's adventures, is the beautiful Kelley, another mysterious mystic, who unveils memories from her life lived on the flip side of mainstream reality. Kelley journeys deep into the desert mountains exploring the nature of death, the power of intention, lessons learned from psychotropics and other transformative matters.

Exploring a cave with a self-made torch, Bear braves his animal phobia, bats, and is delighted to find a river section with fish he can catch by hand after building primitive rock dams at both sides.
