Daniel B. Holly was working the fields of his farm when a storm threated and he needed to finish, failing to heed the flashes in the sky. He is struck by lightning and loses consciousness. The duel bolts hit him and the tractor he's on and put both out of commission.
He appears to survive as the Nomadic Ghost takes over his body.
He finds that some things happen around him that he can't account for, like knowing what might happen next.
