No one can escape the challenges that must be faced when Saturn makes its twenty-nine year return. Tumultuous for some, a corrected path for others and most certainly a turning point for all.

Jim Buckman, a singer/songwriter with extraordinary promise, seems to lose everything, sinking to the bottom in a sea of alcohol and broken dreams. His band falls apart, his lover leaves and his self-confidence is shattered.

Death ruminates in his beleaguered mind. Not his physical demise, but his old ways, his old life. It's hard to admit that he isn't the man he expected to be. He concludes that character is the issue. No matter what talents he possesses, the promise may never be realized because he lacks the character to nurture them and give them meaning. He realizes that doing right, thinking positively and speaking kindly are the foundations of patience, that patience breeds self-confidence, and self-confidence is the enabler for all potential. Good people exist. They surround him, but he is not one of them. Succumbing to this revelation fills him with self-hate. He wants to change, but first he must retrace the path of the man he has become.

By reconnecting with his roots he finds his way back to his music. His fantastic journey crosses time and space righting his path, fulfilling his destiny and finding the love of his life.
