Six years ago, renowned neuroscientist Fred Steel gave up his prestigious career and fame to move to River City and anonymously care for Mr. Quaid, the critically injured chairman of the Peak Group who has fallen into a deep coma. Despite being offered a massive salary and utmost secrecy—including no one in their organization knowing—Fred accepts the challenge for the honor of waking Mr. Quaid. Now, after years of relentless care and isolation, Fred continues to await any sign of revival, holding onto the hope that Mr. Quaid will finally awaken.
