Synopsis
On a distant world where the use of the word 'I' is the ultimate obscenity and self-expression is considered sinful, a prince named Kinnall Darival discovers a mind-altering drug that enables direct sharing of consciousness between individuals. His embrace of radical self-revelation sets him on a collision course with the deeply repressive customs of his society.
