Snippet from TO DIE IS GAIN: “What would you like, Cam?” Libby said to the steeled old man. “Merlot.” “We have Guinness in the fridge, nice and cold just like you like it.” “Lib, I want Merlot. Tonight is a Merlot night.” “Certainly, dear,” she quietly replied.She turned to her youngest son. “Luke, call everybody to the table.”

Taped note with a small-town neighborhood street in the background. ONE MAN'S MISSION IS ANOTHER MAN'S JOURNEY. After a failed marriage and a life of shame, Luke Phillips believes life is pointless. He knows he will never meet his parents' expectations. He is reeling with regret over a chance at love now lost. His career is going nowhere, and he self-medicates to escape his demons. When his best friend Paul convinces him to join the adventure of a lifetime, Luke has no choice but to blindly follow him across the United States, destination unknown. The road trip leads to an eclectic house party, powerful visions in the desert, and surprises from coast to coast. With each detour, long-buried memories resurface, secrets are uncovered, and old flames may reignite. Luke quickly learns that the end of the road is only the beginning...
