His life changes drastically three weeks before the flight when his wife is killed in a tragic car accident. During the flight, Pierce is transformed into light and his mind expands. He is then thrown back into his body and falls into a coma. When he wakes, time is not relevant to his mind–he steps in and out of visions of the past and learns his wife’s death was not an accident and her murderers are after him.
