Synopsis for "Book One: The Pilgrimage of Lucas Hart. Chapter Three: Requiem"

Lucas Hart discusses his deceased father with his mother Bette. is trapped in a vision of his childhood: in 1959, he is tormented by The Little Man with the Knives at a birthday party. The monster chases him and commands him to remember. In 1987, Rhonda retrieves him from the hospital and helps him convalesce from his panic attack when the memories come flooding back of Lucas being sexually abused by his father. In an attempt to bring him peace, Rhonda leads him to a small shrine she has built to The Magician and Lucas feels a calm as he remembers his past lives.

He passes out for 18 hours and when he awakens, the two discuss his feelings and he determines that he needs to go back to his childhood home in Wisconsin and he wants her to accompany him. As the duo fly there, an astral projection of Charlie Limbo watches over them. When they reach their destination, Lucas' mother comes to the door in tears and explains that his father has just died. He tries consoling his mother and recounts stories to Rhonda and begins to doubt his memories that his father abused him. As he drifts off to sleep, The Little Man with the Knives forces him to remember.

The next day, the couple meet up with cousin Diane at the funeral, who claims to have used psychic abilities to speak with her dead uncle. Lucas views the deceased and has an out-of-body experience where he confronts his father. Irwin attempts to justify molesting his son and claims to love him but Lucas lashes out violently and then returns to his body after briefly seeing The Magician.

When Lucas and Rhonda return to Los Angeles, she discovers that she's gotten a film part at a shoot in Yugoslavia and will be gone for three weeks. As he sits alone in his apartment, Charlie Limbo invites him to fly.
