+ Albert Einstein was wrong when he said: "God doesn't play dice with the world." The Universe is a serious Gamer. In this sequel to House of Pain, Sim plays for both sides: restraint and licentiousness; pain and pleasure. Is kinky sex the shortcut to Enlightenment? Sim, aka S&M, is betting on it and he's all in! In the passionate pursuit of Divine Perfection, he dives headfirst into the deep end of trouble, Tantric sex, mayhem and brotherly love to prove his point. Sequestered on the top of the world in his private Sunrise rehabilitation center-an intimate lunatic asylum, strip club, casino and orphanage-Sim pushes the limits of discipline and decadence. As the Universe continues to up the ante and twist the rules, he discovers his patients and students are his best teachers. His assistant therapist Nat instructs, "Pain is your best friend, Sim, more honest than pleasure. When you look it in the eye -when you submit-you open the doorway to becoming a great being." The advice of his protégé, yoga student and incestuous teacher's pet Kama Dave is simpler: "You can't win and you can't quit." +
