In this Dante-esque purgatory, he moves from the grim world of the mines, out onto the various levels of an alien world, encountering a kaleidoscope of people, including sinners and saints, and a culture of fiddle music. In this new environment, he helps a young fiddler perfect HIS skill. In doing so, he makes amends for his own past shortcomings--and discovers the well-spring of music.
