Summary

In 1918, Larry Darrell returns home from World War I disillusioned with his materialistic society. The quest for inner peace leads Larry to reject his rich fiancee, Isabel, and go searching for truth in the Himalayas. But Larry learns that the path to enlightenment is as painful and narrow as treading the sharp edge of a razor
