Here is a bluesy, neo-noir crime thriller that pits an Iraq war vet up against the Chicago mob. A veteran of the war in Iraq, where he endured extreme damage, and a refugee from a unhappy Kentucky family history, Tommy McClain places his trust in a beat-up blue Chevy and his future in the location of Chicago. He's acquired a pal there he is able to count on. What he doesn't count on is Lisa DePietro. She's fairly and openhearted, with dark eyes you may drown in. . .and she's being stalked. Within a bar, on the El, and outside her house - by a large dude in a brown leather jacket. She's seen him in the shadows of his Lexus, read him on her behalf building's speakerphone. He's put records in her mailbox, and she's sure he's even been inside her apartment, because someone's been rifling through her drawers. Tommy results he'll frighten the creep off. Only he does indeed more than that, and the shot from his automatic does indeed more than settle a credit score. It sets off a gangland war that will get Tommy in the crossfire between two mob bosses and their goons, as well as tangle him in law enforcement office investigations and the operations of your FBI special job force. With this shot, a tight, suspenseful stalker story erupts into a craftily wrought, unstable crime thriller with mob family honor and half of a million dollars (in cash) at stake. Snared in the fray, Tommy has some advantages, like his infantry training and fight experience. He'll need them. Because everyone in this mean town, it appears, wants to use Tommy's future away from him.
