An admired but cold and ruthless surgeon lies and cheats to rise to the top of his profession as a member of the President’s cabinet. He founds a hospital in Nepal where he conquers 8000-meters peaks. Fame and self-esteem rise but he fails at attempts to parent his three children. A disastrous personal tragedy results in conviction for 2nd degree murder and he escapes prison surviving alone as a homeless fugitive relentlessly pursued by authorities, the media, and those he wronged. On his travels, he befriends characters who reflect on him a new self-awareness and he discovers humane caring that brings new satisfaction to life and living.
