Continuous Life
When college student Aiden Carraway visits his hometown to confront an unfaithful girlfriend, his drug-addicted twin brother forces him to rethink his priorities.
Despite choosing the right path in life--namely the attainment of a sexy/snooty girlfriend and a college education--Aiden harbors a secret crystal meth addiction.
Unlike his twin brother Calvin, a junky occultist who openly embraces a slacker lifestyle, Aiden is obsessed with success, terrified of failure, and goes to great pains to hide his vice from everyone, including himself.
As Aiden verges on losing everything to drugs--his girlfriend, his education, his life--a death in the family shatters the world as he knows it, leaving behind an alien, surreal hellscape.
The unexpected tragedy compels Aiden to try and quit all drugs. In his newfound state of lucidity, Aiden pieces together the departed's final days. He learns more about this person's private life in a single week than during his own selfish, oblivious two decade existence.
What he discovers is as shocking as it is profound.
This newfound knowledge impels Aiden on a quest, an unfinished mission already set irrevocably into These are sacred obligations which Aiden--aided, with any luck, by his hapless twin Calvin--must see through to the end, no matter the cost.
The stakes are so high, the threat so certain, that the burden may very well cost Aiden his life.
Aiden can't help but Is he selfless enough, strong enough, brave enough, to survive the ordeal? Does he even deserve to, or is he already beyond redemption?
What can a detoxing, traumatized, cowardly, delusional junky do in a perilous situation where myriad lives depend on him?
Die, most likely.
