Terre Haute

By Kevin Vandevoorde

Chris Rozina cobbles together a small living by cheating frat-boys at cards and shortchanging cash registers--until he discovers underground boxing and gambling at a Terre Haute roadhouse. To hit his big bets, Chris calls in the help of his best friend and former college athlete Ben Shields to clean up in the ring. And for the first time in their lives, both young men have the cash to keep the lights on. The easy money gets complicated when Henry Creighton, a ruthless crystal meth trafficker, inherits the roadhouse. Ben has a long-standing score to settle with Creighton, and Chris sees a chance to hit the kingpin for the first big score of his criminal career. Also thrown into the mix is Ben's girlfriend and high school valedictorian-to-be, Megan Hannity. Ambitious and extremely cunning in her own right, Megan proves herself a resource that neither Ben nor Chris can afford to protect from their scam. Heart-wrenching and extremely suspenseful, Terre Haute explores the art of the grift in a city already lost to the methamphetamine epidemic. When everyone's already at rock bottom, what are the consequences of getting caught?
