After a terrible event at the school where he teaches leaves Michael unable to live with what happened—or with his own response to it—he leaves his wife and son behind and boards a bus heading cross-country.

He thinks he is traveling to ease his mind. Instead, the road becomes an odyssey.

Across contemporary America, Michael encounters strange new versions of ancient perils: forgetfulness and drugs, confinement and giants, enchantment, an underworld, seductive alternate realities, catastrophe, temptation, and finally the possibility of never returning home at all. Yet accompanying him is another presence—a mysterious Voice that may be conscience, soul, guardian, or something Michael has no name for—which insists that what he most wants to forget may be precisely what he must pass through.

Odyssey Segunda recasts the ancient journey through the hazards of modern life, following one man's outward passage across a continent and his inward search for a way back to himself, his family, and home.
