In the tradition of an American Dreamer the 1984 movie starring JoBeth Williams, frustrated unappreciated house husband Alan, runs away from an argument with his emotionally abusive wife and gets hit by a car. Waking up in a hospital hours later, he believes he is a character from one of his favorite book series Terrance Whitehead, and sets out on an adventure to get back control of his life. The rest of the book is a leap into the unknown without a parachute.

At-home dad Alan lives vicariously through sexy thrillers until an accident affects his memory, and he goes on the run with rich patron Jared as a Man of Mystery, making a lot of money by charming and sexing up the men and women he meets. This had some potential, but was too short and matter-of-fact in tone to delve into the psychological complexities that make this sort of plotline interesting.
