Blink

Jake Haendel knows something isn’t right—his body and mind feel disconnected in a way he can’t explain. That realization hits hardest at the worst possible moment... in the middle of getting arrested for smoking heroin while driving. But the real punishment isn’t the cuffs or the charges—it’s the diagnosis that follows. Doctors give him six months to live. A death sentence.

Wayward Son

How does a man like Jake find himself with only six months to live? Friends and family give us a glimpse into Jake’s past—a childhood that seemed ordinary until everything changed. His descent started early, having been introduced to drugs in middle school and running the trade by high school. But when his mother is diagnosed with cancer, his world shatters, and drugs become his escape. What begins as a way to numb the pain soon pulls him into a high-stakes world of addiction, dealing, and danger. As his choices drag him deeper into a world of crime, the stage is set for the shocking events to come.Content warning: Drug use/abuse, addiction, cancer and terminal illness, criminal activity, death & dying, suicidal ideation, emotional distress & mature content.Resources can be found on our website, blinkthepodcast.comBlink is part of The Binge - subscribe to The Binge to get new episodes of Blink one-week early and all episodes completely ad-free.
