Rembrandt, Maggie Mallory and Diana are running for their lives, pursued
by an angry rabble and a small
army with big guns. They barely escape into the vortex, but not before
Mallory takes a shot in the back and is paralyzed from the legs down.
On the next world our heroes discover a miraculous cure for their ailing
friend. A strange regenerative
water dispensed by an equally strange mind-numbed cult. Mallory drinks
the water, is cured, but is also
brainwashed into joining their collective. He decides he's going to
stay behind when Remmy, Maggie and
Diana slide out. Not willing to accept Mallory' decision, given his
state of mind, Remmy and Maggie drag
him through the wormhole when they make their next traverse.
Mallory, now separated from his collective, is miserable and angry with
his friends. But he soon realizes
that he carries the essence of the miracle water in his system. He
can spread the word and start his own
cult following on this world. Remmy, Maggie and Diana are now faced
with the challenge of preventing
Mallory from becoming this Earth's next messiah.
