Synopsis: Hal Jordan visits the headquarters of Justice League International to see if there is anything there that might inspire him to rejoin the team. But the playful antics of the League members, more specifically Guy Gardner, convince him that the League simply isn't the place for him.

So Hal embarks upon a journey to "find himself". His travels take him to the town of Hope Springs, West Virginia (Also known as Desolation). He tracks down a woman he met once named Rose Lewis-Hardin. Rose only met him once as Green Lantern and has no idea who Hal really is. Hal offers to help her with the farm work for some room and board. He befriends Rose's young son, Toby.

But Guy Gardner arrives and bullies Hal into competing with him once again. The two engage in a ring-inspired arm wrestling match. Rose walks out and realizes that Hal is a super-hero. She asks him to leave.

Meanwhile, John Stewart is suffering from a nervous breakdown due to his actions, which once led to the destruction of a planet called Xanshi. Unable to deal with his guilt any longer, he flies to the ruins of the planet Oa.
