This story is based on some truth about personality disorders, suicide and dysfunctional demons. Ben, Carl, Denny, Darrell, Johnny, and Randy, the "others," share the same body, but each has a different life. Things are out of control. Dr. Alfred Fine "Jake" tries to help Jackson come to terms with his friends. A traumatic climax ensues with the introduction of Januari Winters. There seems to be nowhere to turn, but the answer comes very unexpectedly. CHAPTER ONE What the hell? Jackson thought.
