Before going public with his discovery, he will use it to first go back in time to right a terrible wrong and save someone close to him. But will saving her mean destroying his own future? In "The Price of Success," a frustrated writer grows jealous of his friend's literary triumphs. During a night of drunken bitterness, he makes a deal with a devilish entity to change his friend's fate as well as his own. However, this deal has unforeseen consequences.
