The Impossible Bird
There is a place – a world – where famine and poverty do not exist. Nor sickness, nor misery, nor unhappiness of any kind. Is it Heaven? As two brothers are about to discover, it's more like Hell. Hotshot director Michael Glynn and his brother Daniel, an English professor, have been waging a private civil war, an emotional feud of deceit and dark secrets buried but not forgotten. Daniel's beloved wife and son are caught in the fraternal crossfire. When violent strangers force the brothers to hunt for each other, they enter upon an odyssey of discovery more bizarre than either could have imagined. It is a journey to a world of perfect happiness, a world without death, a world where life can be relived and mistakes corrected. Both have been given a second chance. But is a second chance what they really need? For Michael and Daniel, the answer to that question will be found by unraveling the mystery of the impossible bird.
