It's called Electro-Convulsive Therapy, or "shock treatment." At the urging of his shrink, former art student Eric had it done in an attempt to cure his thoughts of suicide. His depression hasn't come back for over a year, but, though he hasn't lifted anything sharp to his wrists, he hasn't lifted a paint brush in just as long. He had the creativity therapy'd right out of him. And then there's the problem with his memory... Stripped of everything with which he used to define himself, Eric now works at a Bargain Basement, fending off wretched customers and hunting down black widow spiders. When he discovers a box full of ashes labeled "Harold," he and his friends (and at least one enemy) fall into a quest across Washington State to reunite poor Harold with his family, and, in the process, reclaim everything that the voltage blasted out of Eric's skull.
