Treadmill

Jack Cooper is an sad man – thoughts, physique, and spirit. Within the blink of an eye fixed, he has misplaced his longstanding job to the economic system, his mom to sickness, and his spouse to her secret lover.

Overwhelmed, damaged, and crippled by tragedy, he withdraws into whole isolation, narrowing his life right down to the only of routines in an effort to block out the ache. His day begins with a strenuous exercise on the Bethesda Well being Membership, his private oasis the place his thoughts and physique will be free, and ends in his tiny house, the place he escapes from actuality together with his books till he can lose himself in sleep.

Nothing extra, nothing much less. That’s, till he meets the enigmatic Mike Parrish. Stolen from the hospital as a new child and handed round from family to family, Parrish has no official identification. To the federal government and the world at giant, he doesn’t exist. He’s an nameless drifter, but in addition the primary one who breaks via Cooper’s emotional confinement. Cooper finds solace in his friendship with Parrish, a person who understands his plight and is sympathetic to his ache.

However then Parrish immediately disappears, leaving Cooper to seek for a nearly invisible man. As he appears for clues as intangible as ghosts, and chases leads as fleeting as shadows, his search leads him again to the one place he known as his refuge: the Bethesda Well being Membership. How a lot will be taken from a person earlier than he has nothing to lose?
