Six-year-old Mark Nilsson has just arrived at his new home, and he is absolutely enthralled by the natural beauty surrounding his residence. It doesn't take long before he finds himself communicating with ancient voices, voices that have seemingly chosen him for a great purpose, though at first he doesn't understand the mission.

As the years pass, Mark becomes convinced that he is in direct communication with those who existed as spirits soon after the universe was created, and that he is being guided toward a pathway leading to the ultimate heavenly home. However, he is concerned that his connection to this path will be noticed by his family, his friends, and all who inhabit his community.

Mark wants to become a complete Nature Boy, but his ties to society are holding him back. Which will he choose, the World of Humans, or the path leading him toward the cosmic womb he identifies as "North"?
