Marko surfaces from a drug-induced haze to find himself hidden from the world in a psychiatric ward. He is certain the 'Doctor' means to kill him, and he in turn has vengeful plans of his own.

But how is it he came to stop taking his medication? Who can Marko trust and how much time does he have?

Time enough to write it all down-his story of a coast-to-coast trip and the earthquake that ripped his world apart.

Jolt is a thriller that will breathe cold air under your collar.
