Upon fishing off of his boat one day after finishing a contract, Sam Bellamy noticed he caught something unusual. It was light and felt like a pen, upon asking his friend and roommate Jerry, he confirmed his suspicion.

Whether fate or luck, Sam could not tell, but now that he has this magical pen, he intends to use it.
