Synopsis
The Life of Chuck: The story unfolds in three reverse-ordered acts. It begins as ordinary people face mounting signs that their world is failing while mysterious messages thank Charles Krantz for thirty-nine years of service. The narrative then moves backward through Chuck's adult life and childhood, revealing his love of music and dance, his family history, and the experiences that shaped the apparently ordinary man behind the messages.
