 "Justin Verity. Behind the window he sits, watching the sun melt into the horizon, wondering on which side of  the window the sun really sets..."

Such are the words that lead us into The Realm of Never for the very first time. Justin Verity is a recluse who leads the viewer into his world where there are no telephones, no technology, nothing to link him to the outside world, which he perceives as a movie: bits and pieces of illusion glued together to create a reality. "Checking the gate" on that movie, he describes the institutions of life from keeping up with the Joneses, to the paradox of love and marriage; the Gods of business, and the dehumanizing effects of technology; and how when they are employed falsely and opportunistically, they become our personal prisons. Yet for that we are rewarded with the false sense of security that is the real sense of security: material gain, validation, acceptance; i.e. love. But for those like Justin Verity, who know that for life to truly begin, the "movie" first must end, there is no fanfare. Only a silent dignity and acid knowledge of what most others will never learn. For Justin Verity isn't just a recluse. He is a convict in the "home for the sane," the millennium's answer to those who know and embrace the truth.
