Mike Burns thinks Harlow Mills, a small town in northern Ontario, is the perfect place to start a new life. After all, he meets Sandra Borman there and she's a lovely, single woman. Unfortunately, not all of the inhabitants of Harlow Mills are friendly. In fact, one man in particular is hiding from the police. He calls himself "the cave beast".



The cave beast spends his days listening to the voices in his head. He believes the voices come from the gods. They want the cave beast to complete an initiation: a series of tasks which will test him both mentally and physically. If he completes the assignments, he will become a god and live with the other deities in a castle on the moon. The only problem is, this man doesn't want to go to the moon alone!
