Jack Norvel could have lived a normal life if he had been able to let go of his past. His suffering with depression from his late teens led to a life that was endured, not lived. He would have lived out his life in this manner had it not been for a more than chance meeting with a stranger. Don, as Jack came to know his new friend, was there to make him an offer; an offer that would cancel out all those experiences that had so devastated his life. It would have been easy to accept the offer had it not been for the cost . . . the very high cost.
