By John Clayton Henderson

In the gritty streets of 1957 Kansas City, life for Johnny Carr is a constant battle against his own demons and the relentless grip of the law.With multiple run-ins with the police, Johnny is no stranger to trouble. But when a brutal altercation leaves his foreman at death's door, Johnny's situation takes a turn for the worse. Faced with the threat of jail time, he extorts ten grand from his lawyer to pay off the foreman, plunging deeper into a world of crime and corruption.

Johnny's reckless actions catch the eye of Tony Scarlotti, a ruthless made man in the KC Mafia. Seeing potential in Johnny's audacity, Tony makes him an offer he can't refuse: eliminate Tony's own brother, Willy. Trapped with no way out, Johnny prepares to pull the trigger, ready to seal his fate as a mafia hitman.

But as Johnny stands on the brink, gun in hand, Willy makes a counteroffer that could change everything.
