Patrick Yeats has an unusually good memory, and he's very ill. Before his last exhale, he wants to present his side of the story. Every dark deed he's been a part of depends on it. When his nightmares begin to haunt him with flashbacks from the past, he puts pen to paper and recounts everything that happened since the day he first laid eyes on a beautiful but deceitful girl, and then dealt with his mother's unrelenting abuse.

But nothing could save him after a mysterious drug altered his life. The metamorphosis turned a naïve, slender young man in the 1970s into a hard-nosed, muscular hunk attracted to evil.

Patrick's life seems to take a turn for the better when his wife inherits millions of dollars under suspicious circumstances. Then when his best friend suffers a horrific facial wound in Vietnam, Patrick wants to cover the surgical procedure offered in Argentina, and this sets off a chain reaction of violence.

It's time for Patrick to face his past. It's been years since he's felt inspired...but for Patrick, inspiration is often deadly.
