That flash may express the immediate notice of a comatose person who knows the dark reality binding Broker into a remarkable cast of characters -- a tired anesthesiologist, an excellent doctor, a rich author, his ex-partner (a cool unique dancer) and her unrepentant pimp.For Broker everything started when he decided to get three big-city professionals on the canoeing trip across Minnesotais many distant ponds. Among the three is terribly injured in a freak October blizzard, and Agent embarks on the white-knuckle recovery against the weather and time, closing with a writer in a coma and his cpa lifeless.
