He's able to leave his body behind and travel to any time or place in the world. His bosses want Mark to find the real-world location of where the Garden of Eden used to be- or may still be. Mark is not a Christian and... more » has little more than curiosity about finding the Garden, but his wife is a believer who is wanting him to let go of what she sees as an occult practice-so he can spend more time with her and their little boy.
