Jack's one of those singersongwriters from L.A.; he can bend the strings on that steel guitar and make music that damn near wrenches the soul right outta your gut. But Jack's a man on the run-though whether he's running from somethin' or running to somethin' even he don't rightly know. jack hooked up with Vida at Le Bon Chance this evening, so sparks are sure to fly. Vida seen a strength in Jack that even he don't know he got, but is he strong enough to stand against what he and Vida will face in the next twenty-four hours? You see, a coupla hundred years ago, the founders of Grail made a deal with somebody they called the Good Gray Man. Somé kinda spirit that's supposed to be hangin' around these parts.
