The Avatar Syndrome follows Anne from childhood, to womanhood; from a troubled, taciturn youth, to a world-renowned violinist; from misunderstood recluse, to messiah of a higher truth and beauty.

A product of the expansive cultural landscape of our times, Law, a consummate student of ancient myths, fuses teachings of Lao Tzu, Jesus and Indian mysticism with contemporary issues of family, youth, feminism, fame and power delivers a singular vision of what it could mean to be human.
