When a mysterious science fiction author dies, his fans discover the secret behind his unusual pen name: he had been a soldier, spy, diplomat, and psychological warrior, and his stories contain far more than meets the eye.

On a bleak Christmas night, Stewart just wants to fix his broken lights. Each bulb replaced sends him back into the cold, where static, sermons, and silence haunt his drives. At the hardware store, a ghostly cashier hints at something beyond. When the last light fades, Stewart faces a celestial visitor and a choice: cling to the glow, or step into the dark. A slow-burning, surreal holiday tale of grief, ritual, and revelation.
