But gradually, over several episodes, he becomes aware of The Levels, each more dangerous than the one before. He is also conscious of a woman in his dreams for whom he feels an overwhelming great love. In his waking state, he tries to get answers through the church, and a retired professor who seems to know of The Levels. His journey through these parallel lives finally reaches its climax.
