He decides to take a long vacation driving across the USA. BY accident he discovers a whole bunch of people worse off than himself for no faults of their own.

However, one unlikely individual holds the key. But will he part with his secret? It is said that every man has his price… As the stakes rise – the very future of mankind waivers in the balance.
