Part 1: Cal lives a solitary life in the mountains of East Tennessee, working long hours in his job as a salesman. His humdrum life is crawling along with not much to look forward to when everything suddenly changes in the blink of an eye.

Gunshots are not a usual occurrence near his rural home, but when they involve a car chase one evening and Cal sees two bags being thrown into some nearby trees he is stunned.

Bracing himself for what could be within, Cal investigates only to discover they contain over two million dollars in cash. It’s more money than he has ever seen and clearly more than he could earn in the rest of his life. A crisis of conscience in this honest and law-abiding citizen follows.

What should he do?

It seems likely that the money is crime-related, as such it should be handed to the authorities, but its discovery could change Cal’s life forever.

The finding creates more problems than solutions as ruthless parties from both sides of the law are intent on recovering it. All converging to claim it for themselves.

Can Cal hide the money and stay alive long enough to enjoy it? Or will the gangsters and corrupt police officers who seek it get to him first?

Cal is about to discover that two million dollars is hard to spend when people want you dead and even harder to run away with.
