A Modern Fantasy Where Ancient Hebrew Mysticism Comes Alive On The Streets Of New York

College student and certified nerd Arthur Rose has issues: he's estranged from his Jewish faith, needs a recommendation for grad school, and getting back with his ex, Lynn, is going to take more than an apology and chocolate. He's trying to balance it all when he starts seeing shapes in the dark.
