John Duncan is a biologist. At the beginning of the story he gets a job with a paint company. His job is to ensure that the chemicals used in the company are safe.
John is widower, and he lives with his two children, 13 years old Andrew, and 16 years old Christine.

"We've got to do more to protect people in public places and clean up the air that all of us share""exposure to environmental tobacco smoke  raises a non-smoker's risk of developing lung cancer by at least 50 percent".
