Davis Stiles is a man on a quest to fix his brain. He is a Chicago native that finds himself in trouble day after day.

Jails, Institutions, and Death tells the story of one man's walk through life. Life is tough for everyone; however, Davis makes it even tougher on himself.

He has a loving wife, that wants him to get better. The problem is that he does not want to stop drinking. Davis is a man who feels life owes him something.

The only lessons Davis has ever been able to learn were the hard ones. He journeys along life's path with high hopes and low expectations. His motto is 'think the worst, and when the worst happens, you will not be disappointed.'

His wife, Beth, finally gives up hope of saving their marriage. Davis is left to walk through his trials and tribulations alone.

The newspapers will not leave him alone because of his past. The chaos that follows him because of this is unmanageable.

Davis has to search his soul for the answers. Until life's questions are answered, Davis will have no peace.
