Gordon is suffering major organ failure and is on the brink of death! Gordon, an unmarried quadriplegic, has been in a wheelchair since he was twenty-two. His life is one of isolation, fear, and relative silence, except when David visits with stories of the world.

To save Gordon's life, the doctor induces a coma to promote rest and healing. Unable to reserve a flight, David leaves his family to drive cross-country, hoping to arrive before Gordon wakes, or dies.
