Reluctant Hero

Great format that tells an action-packed story about a reluctant hero, who must commit heroic acts to survive. Throughout the series he turns from a disillusioned inept loser into a brave, committed person, ready to risk his life for the sake of others. Very engaging and entertaining, the story is delivered with subtle humor and irony and will easily become a hit with any audience worldwide.

The main character is an oncologist who has nothing left to lose in this life. He is a failure as a doctor, his wife left him and he discovers that he has an inoperable brain tumor, that’s going to kill him in a few months. Desperate, he decides to end his own life, gets drunk, and steps onto a highway to get killed by a car. A police officer saves his life, listens to the guy’s story and comes up with an interesting proposal — the hero has to take part in risky police operations: if he gets killed, at least it won’t be for nothing. The sick man accepts the offer — he has nothing to lose. Then, after a few cases, he suddenly discovers that his tumor has shrunk — apparently because of the adrenaline rush. Now he literally has to be a hero to stay alive.
