The Promise Of Eden is the story of Gregory Coleman, a boy caught in a maze of deception, who has been reared in the company of ghosts. When his imaginary friend, Anna, reveals to him that she is a spirit trapped in his home, she requests his help for one simple duty: to help her find heaven. To aid him in this task, she introduces him to Sylvia, a centuries-old poltergeist with aspirations of godhood and to Joseph, a hermit with mysterious ties to the small town of New Harmony, Indiana-once the site of a failed Utopian experiment. The trio form an alliance to groom Gregory to be a powerful medium in the hopes of delivering Anna to her final resting place. As Gregory matures he discovers the truth about Anna's bizarre death and uncovers the secrets of a long-dead cult that is attempting to ressurect itself. For Anna is not what she seems, nor is she the benign playmate he always thought her to be.
