Bernard lives a fairly comfortable life: one you might expect to enjoy when your family is comfortably middle class, and your parents are professionals. His parents think they are teaching him to give back when they push him to give blood. They even host a blood drive in his honor on his sixteenth birthday, making it pretty darned difficult for him to avoid donating himself. But that’s when the problems start. First, his mom tells him that Doc Brown is sending his blood out for special testing. Then the pharmaceutical companies learn that Bernard’s blood kills cancer cells, and his life begins to get very complicated.
