Chuck Vouee refuses to be average. For him, living an average life is the equivalent to death. Adventure calls and he heeds its siren song. Meeting Sara outside a small cove in Anchorage, Alaska for a first date, he embarks on his latest triumph, taking Sara on a canoe cruise through the ice berg strewn Pacific Ocean. With his motto, "better dead than basic," chanting through his eager mind, he chases glory right into the jaws of fate.
