This is a true story of how a young man in his prime becomes sick with an undiagnosed illness now known as chronic fatigue syndrome or CFS, which is characterized by extreme fatigue and can't be explained by any underlying medical condition. There is still no cure to this torturous disease. Most people die within ten years of contracting it. All doctors and eventually all friends and family agree that he is manic-depressive and just write him off. Troy, his best friend from high school, leads him to the Lord and prophesies his miracle healing. During his three and a half years of sickness, he has three near-death experiences. In one, it is revealed to him that some lady from a one-night stand had his son. About fifteen years later, he starts having visions of how to find his skinny-legged son, visions involving police corruption.
