Introducing BLINK - Jake Haendel’s Story...

Taylar Fetzner, Morgan Harris
About this episode

Jake Haendel has been handed a death sentence. He has a terminal progressive disease that's eating away at the white matter of his brain. In six months, he'll be dead. 

As the months progress, Jake slips into a coma, laying there in total darkness. But something odd has happened... Jake is fully conscious. 

Nobody knows that he can hear them. They’re certain he's no longer in there.

With the promise that Jake will never recover, friends and family visit less and less. Until there is just one person left. A person who begins to whisper strange admissions in his ear.

It is here, helpless in his hospital bed, that Jake realizes what may have gotten him here in the first place. The scariest thing in the room is no longer the potential of dying, but rather, the person sitting right next to him.


This is Blink, the untold true story and survival of Jake Haendel.
