"The main character has just hijacked a 747 and is the only person left on board. Through the assistance of the "black box", he narrates his story of being the last remaining survivor of an infamous "death cult". His upbringing has taught him to kill himself, and his struggle with that is ongoing."

"Tender Branson, the last surviving member of a religious cult, chronicles his entire life story as he is set to plummet to his death aboard a jet liner. He relives his childhood, his dull jobs cleaning rich people's houses, and how he came to be the pseudo-savior the world was looking for. "
