If I Had a Million
Gil Abrams is a religious man, and not getting any younger. But after watching his wife die, and lines in his face getting deeper, he decides that maybe heaven can wait. Especially when he finds out about the new de-aging treatment on the market. The only problem is the cost. Being a retired janitor, his life savings don't quite cover the million yuan. The only option is to become a coyote, smuggling American immigrants by sea into Newfoundland from the civil war that rages below the border. It takes a lot of guts, determination, planning, and a risk-taking nature, none of which Gil has. In this dark satire podcast, one man will decide if living far into the future is worth possibly giving up the present.
