Renewal Michael Messina

A story of love and addiction, faith and betrayal, Renewal revolves around a heroin addict named Jared, who has amnesia. As a rare snow storm hits Los Angeles, Jared must conjure up his next fix while he searches for clues about who he is and where he came from--before it's too late. Along his way, he meets a fellow junkie named Olivier. The two quickly become friends and partners in crime as they make their way to the East Coast in search of a girl Jared believes he once loved. During this venture, Jared discovers nothing is as it seems. He slowly begins to realize the people around him are not who they pretend to be. The man he believes he is never existed. And the new Jared must act immediately before he impacts his life, and the lives of those around him, forever.
