In a New York not unlike the one that exists today, is a Game Master, a designer of entertainment for people with no imaginations of their own. Robert Leal is dying and not doing it really well. Then a friend, Chris Kane, a singer who has been dead for many years, has a career revival. And Leal begins to hear and see hints and fragments of another world. It's called Capricorn. It flickers like candlelight, and it is haunting. Then Leal finds out that he is dying of cancer just as Chris Kane did. But as he dies here in Cancer, he takes on life in Capricorn. Where he is worshipped as a god. And hunted like a stag.
