Jack's wife died an agonizing death. Crushed by the loss, Jack descended into depression and alcohol. When his parents threatened to come to his house, he escaped to the lake, away from phones, TV and the internet, to finally decide his fate. He had no way of knowing that a mysterious man named Toby would intrude into his life, much less rescue him and turn his life around.

In one intense week of frustration, anger, confusion, and revelation, Jack's life was transformed. But it would be almost two years before he would return to the lake to thank Toby, only to discover that he wasn't who Jack had thought he was at all.
