As a result of his choice of action, he has been torn from the loves in his American life, and blown away into psychedelic realms of a subjective foreign universe. He faces both physical danger, and thresholds of insanity, as he navigates to salvage his identity and memory, amidst a certain amount of foreign enmity and humiliation.
