They stop and hike to an overlook of the Pacific Ocean where they are enveloped in fog and one of the women disappears. In an incredulous daze they travel on until they reach Bolinas. After a concert in the local community center Shiva reluctantly takes on the mantle of the next enlightened master. The word spreads and Bolinas becomes a turbulent, fantastic and ecstatic place. Eventually a man comes into Bolinas looking for his lost wife. The situation that arises requires Shiva, as well as his followers, to confront themselves and hehold unforeseen consequences.
