Nicholas J. Downstone, an Army veteran, is on the verge of suicide. He catches a curious Advertisement in the Baltimore Sun that claims it can cure him of depression. Doubtful at first, Nicholas decides to partake. But what he discovers is a self-made billionaire named Christian Hondo, with a philanthropist’s heart and a bizarre program called ‘Action/Adventure’ Therapy. Mr. Hondo claims that the purpose of his program is to cure people of mental ills like depression or anxiety; give people a change of mind on life. But what Nicholas discovers is a race from Baltimore, MD to Las Vegas, NV. Eight-million dollars awaits at the finish line. However, there is a deadly drawback, a catch to the race: each contestant must wear a timed-bomb strapped to their chests that will go off in 72 Hours. Will Nicholas J. Downstone make it to the finish line alive?
