Synopsis Split up and downhearted, the Challengers hit rock bottom. In an El Segundo prison, Red Ryan is tortured. A kind old man nurses him along. Red breaks free and kills his guards, but the old man is dead. Fed up with “living on borrowed time”, Red prepares to shoot himself. Deep in the Amazon jungle, Ace Morgan studies magic with the Tuto, a legendary tribe. He learns to opens doors to other planes, but returns to find the tribe wiped out. He wasted his borrowed time. In one bar after another, Rocky Davis is dumped by Corinna Stark. Broke, out of work, and alcoholic, Rocky battles a younger version of himself, only to wake despondent on a DT ward. He doesn’t want to live, on borrowed time or any other. All this time, Harold Moffett, hack reporter, is trying to scare up interest in world-wide crazy suicides. When he receives a mysterious box of gold, and an ethereal command (from Prof) to “Do your job”, Moffet decides it time to gather the guys...
