What happens when your life falls apart-mile by mile-in the middle of the world's toughest race?
Marcus Reed was supposed to disappear into the Sahara and come back a better man. Six days. 250 kilometers. The Marathon des Sables. The perfect story of redemption for a man whose brand was crumbling.
But just before the start gun fires, a message detonates everything:
"I'm pregnant. You need to fix this. Now."
As Marcus battles blistering heat, hallucinations, and his own failing body, his affair goes public, his wife disappears into silence, and his company turns on him. The desert isn't just sand and heat-it becomes a reckoning.
With every step, Marcus is forced to confront who he's become... and whether anything can be salvaged after this.
