After fighting for his country, a man contracts a chronic lung infection. While confined to a hospital bed, he begins to consider his views on the world-and even wonders whether he should amend a few of them. But changing your life is never an easy thing, especially if you're not sure how to do it and you're on your deathbed. Besides, his existence has already been full of disappointment, pain, and suffering. He's pretty sure the rest of it will be the same. Why try to change it now?
Maybe, just maybe, he still has time to choose an alternate path. When he's released from the hospital, the man decides to start a new life with what little time he has left-if he can figure out which direction to take.
Highly original and absorbing, "Goat in a Coma" takes an alternate look at our existence from the perspective of a man who could easily represent every one of us.
