While in the confines of his incredible shift in reality, Paul's informed that he must return to the temporal realm in the mind and body of Chicago Police Lieutenant, Chase Manley. The Lieutenant's assignment is to lead the murder investigation of Paul Merrick! Manley and his crew of detectives must bring the perpetrators to justice within thirty days, or cataclysmic events will result in the destruction of humanity. Unfortunately, Chase will find the investigation surprisingly more difficult than he expected. As he unearths the clues in his investigation, Chase is confronted with a whirlpool of duplicity and murder.
Throughout the investigation, Chase is accompanied by a mentor he's acquired during his journey. His mentor is an amusingly interesting character, who reveals many of life's mysteries, and informs Paul Merrick why he is one of the few people to move forward to a higher level of exsistence, after passing from the temporal realm.
