Patmos is a barren, forsaken island symbolizing a state of loss and confusion.  For Alice Tyrrell, her daughter Dedra, Felix Hoffman, Elizabeth Portman and William Dolan existence is a sad and lonely place, each of them feeling trapped in their own little world.  While some are desperate to get off the island, others are unable to.  The lives of these five souls intersect through past and present circumstances.  Each of them finds that freedom from tribulation is only found by embracing Patmos itself, facing its harsh truths and journeying onward.
