James Chalmers, a less-than-honorable attorney who has lost everything due to his drinking, womanizing, and gambling, is dying of cancer. He stoically accepts his fate until a mysterious woman from his past shows up to offer him the ultimate gift-immortality. But there is only one problem: the gift comes with a catch. In order to keep his cancer at bay and get a second chance to be a good person, Chalmers must be willing to take the life of another and seek justice for those who cannot find it for themselves. Haunted by the thoughts of having to murder in order to stay alive, Chalmers struggles to understand how his gift is anything more than a curse. Chalmers is befriended by fellow Justice Seeker, Carlos. Together they head to Mexico with the hope of a better life. There, they’ll have the chance to learn to accept their fates. If they can’t do so, they can pass their gifts on to another-with death as the consequence. In this novel, a tortured soul embarks on a remarkable path of self-discovery as he contemplates how far he will travel to preserve his life and whether the cost is really worth it.
