Synopsis

The Challengers each think they no longer wish to live "on borrowed time". In an El Segundo prison, Red is tortured but breaks free and kills his guards. In the Amazon jungle, Ace studies magic with the Tuto, opening doors to other planes, but returns to find the tribe wiped out. Broke, out of work, and alcoholic, Rocky battles a younger version of himself, only to wake up in a DT ward. Meanwhile, reporter Harold Moffett tries to create interest in world-wide suicides. When he receives a box of gold and an ethereal command from Prof to “Do your job”, he decides it's time to gather the guys.
