Providence

Providence Stranger is a chronically dissatisfied atheistic scientist of considerable world renown, whose credibility is destroyed when his world-altering invention, human fuel, turns out to be an addictive substance, rendering people inhuman. He struggles with infidelity, trapped in an unhappy marriage, and with a supposed mental illness. Otherworldly figures such as the intimidating, ruthless Adam Kadmon stalk him. Providence is vilified by the general public and becomes involved in a spiritual war with the also-deranged and extraordinary Lara. Both try to fight their hapless destinies as history repeats itself through their cursed lives. They deal with strangers from another world, whose prophesy says their lives will eventually end in martyrdom. Will these two unlucky, flawed, but supernatural beings win in their fight against destiny?
