In the 1930's an elderly trumpet player and a Tibetan mystic combine their talents to compose a melody that will come as a revelation to listeners born under a future night sky.

Generations later, an ordinary youth,'Pimple' is deeply affected by the strange tune, and soon learns that he has been recruited into a wild and wonderful conspiracy to make the world a better place. He shares some unusual experiences with others who are also trying to unravel why, and what is happening to them, until a trip to America and a startling discovery high in the Smoky Mountains provides the answer. Sadly all could be lost following a death on their return.
