“Surely the Gods live here – this is no place for men!” Rudyard Kipling, on SpitiJournalist Maddie McNamara had never heard of Spiti until her younger brother Tim disappeared into its rugged terrain deep in the Tibetan Himalayas. On an urgent search, she meets astrologer Kurt Weiss, a man with a mysterious past and a pressing agenda of his own: to decode his disturbing apocalyptic dreams using Spiti’s millennium-old Buddhist temples.
