------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having fled killers who murdered his mentor in the slums of Milwaukee to his Christian grandmother in Iowa at age 15, Thomas concludes that Jesus is a fairy tale and seeking wealth is the ultimate goal. Thomas's insatiable hunger for money, power, and influence drove him to prison at age 17. He spends the next 27 years in and out of prisons. After his release from Lucasville Penitentiary, he travels to Chicago, determined to never go back.Yet, he had no intention of ever becoming a law-abiding citizen...only covering his tracks.
After his girlfriend introduces him to Paris Poe -- hitman for the Hobos-- he found himself caught up in a cesspool of drugs, robberies, murders, and organized crime.
Until he found himself in so deep...there was no way out.
After the Feds indict the Hobos for Racketeering, Thomas broke the code and found himself incarcerated with Poe, who is determined to silence him forever.
Like a frog in slowly boiling water, Thomas found himself in an ever-tightening vice-grip of death. Facing the probability of being murdered behind the walls, Thomas is forced to confront his shortcomings as a man and the irrefutable evidence for Christ.
Will the life of Thomas be saved?
